Can Jconsole Data Be Retrieved From The Command Line?


Answer :

jconsole just provides a wrapper around the JMX MBeans that are in the platform MBeanServer.

You can write a program to connect to your VM using the Attach API which would then query the MBeans.

Or you can expose the platform MBeanServer over RMI and query the MBeans that way.

See the java.lang.management package for more info


Maybe jvmtop is worth a look.
It's a command-line tool which provides a live-view for several metrics.

Example output of the VM overview mode:

 JvmTop 0.4.1  amd64  8 cpus, Linux 2.6.32-27, load avg 0.12  http://code.google.com/p/jvmtop    PID MAIN-CLASS      HPCUR HPMAX NHCUR NHMAX    CPU     GC    VM USERNAME   #T DL  3370 rapperSimpleApp  165m  455m  109m  176m  0.12%  0.00% S6U37 web        21 11272 ver.resin.Resin [ERROR: Could not attach to VM] 27338 WatchdogManager   11m   28m   23m  130m  0.00%  0.00% S6U37 web        31 19187 m.jvmtop.JvmTop   20m 3544m   13m  130m  0.93%  0.47% S6U37 web        20 16733 artup.Bootstrap  159m  455m  166m  304m  0.12%  0.00% S6U37 web        46

Take a look at jmap, which can be used to take a heap dump from the console.

For data not covered in the heap dump, I believe jconsole just uses JMX to connect to the running JVM to get statistics - so it's likely possible to create your own application which could pull those same types of stats from JMX.

Are Regular VACUUM ANALYZE Still Recommended Under 9.1?

Answer : VACUUM is only needed on updated or deleted rows in non-temporary tables. Obviously you're doing lots of INSERTs but it's not obvious from the description that you're also doing lots of UPDATEs or DELETEs. These operations can be tracked with the pg_stat_all_tables view, specifically the n_tup_upd and n_tup_del columns. Also, even more to the point, there is a n_dead_tup column that tells, per table, how much rows need to be vacuumed. (see Monitoring statistics in the doc for functions and views related to statistics gathering). A possible strategy in your case would be to suppress the scheduled VACUUM, keeping an eye on this view and checking on which tables the n_dead_tup is going up significantly. Then apply the aggressive VACUUM to these tables only. This will be a win if there are large tables whose rows never get deleted nor updated and the aggressive VACUUM is really necessary only on smaller tables. But keep running the ANALYZE for the optimiz

Can Feynman Diagrams Be Used To Represent Any Perturbation Theory?

Answer : Diagram machinery works also for perturbation theory in classical statistical mechanics and classical field theories. Generally, various kinds of diagrams constitute a pictorial way of talking about tensor products and their contractions while hiding the multi-linear algebra from the layman. In the simplest case, vertices (or blobs) represent vectors, matrices, tensors; vertices have ingoing and/or outgoing ports; ingoing ports denote (contravariant) ro indices; outgoing ports denote (covariant) co indices; directed arcs between blobs give a pair of equal indices summed over; different base spaces ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ different arc types; symmetric tensors ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ undirected diagrams; no labels are needed for internal lines. In many cases, the directed arcs are decorated (as thin, thick, broken,wavy, curly lines), each decoration indicating the presence of a so-called propagator, a function of its label to use as a weight in the sum, which may beco
