OpenDJ - Profiler Plugin

Profiler Plugin

The Profiler plug-in captures profiling information about operations performed inside the JVM while the OpenDJ directory server is running.

Parent Component

The Profiler Plugin component inherits from the Plugin

Basic Properties

enable-profiling-on-startup

Description
Indicates whether the profiler plug-in is to start collecting data automatically when the directory server is started. This property is read only when the server is started, and any changes take effect on the next restart. This property is typically set to "false" unless startup profiling is required, because otherwise the volume of data that can be collected can cause the server to run out of memory if it is not turned off in a timely manner.
Default Value

profile-action

Description
Specifies the action that should be taken by the profiler. A value of "start" causes the profiler thread to start collecting data if it is not already active. A value of "stop" causes the profiler thread to stop collecting data and write it to disk, and a value of "cancel" causes the profiler thread to stop collecting data and discard anything that has been captured. These operations occur immediately.
Default Value
none
Allowed Values
cancel - Stop collecting profile data and discard what has been captured.

none - Do not take any action.

start - Start collecting profile data.

stop - Stop collecting profile data and write what has been captured to a file in the profile directory.

profile-directory

Description
Specifies the path to the directory where profile information is to be written. This path may be either an absolute path or a path that is relative to the root of the OpenDJ directory server instance. The directory must exist and the directory server must have permission to create new files in it.
Default Value
None
Allowed Values
The path to any directory that exists on the filesystem and that can be read and written by the server user.

Advanced Property

profile-sample-interval

Description
Specifies the sample interval in milliseconds to be used when capturing profiling information in the server. When capturing data, the profiler thread sleeps for this length of time between calls to obtain traces for all threads running in the JVM.
Default Value
None
Allowed Values
A duration Syntax. Lower limit is 1 milliseconds. Upper limit is 2147483647 milliseconds.
Multi-valued
No

Yes
Admin Action Required
None. Changes to this configuration attribute take effect the next time the profiler is started.
Advanced Property
No

No


Advanced Properties

invoke-for-internal-operations

Description
Indicates whether the plug-in should be invoked for internal operations. Any plug-in that can be invoked for internal operations must ensure that it does not create any new internal operatons that can cause the same plug-in to be re-invoked.
Default Value
false
Allowed Values

java-class

Description
Specifies the fully-qualified name of the Java class that provides the plug-in implementation.
Default Value
org.opends.server.plugins.profiler.ProfilerPlugin
Allowed Values
A java class that implements or extends the class(es) :
org.opends.server.api.plugin.DirectoryServerPlugin
