Monitoring Java Workloads running in Containers using JFR

  • 1.  Monitoring Java Workloads running in Containers using JFR

    Posted 8 days ago

    JDK Flight Recorder (JFR) is now available in IBM Semeru Runtimes v11.0.27, v17.0.15, and v21.0.7 - offering low-overhead, always-on monitoring for Java applications. 

    In containerized environments like OpenShift, capturing and extracting JFR data presents unique challenges: 

    • No SSH access to containers.
    • Ephemeral pods.
    • Limited use of persistent volumes.

    Without a streamlined way to collect JFR dumps, performance analysis can be delayed - impacting support and reliability. The article below clearly outlines the steps to collect and transport a JFR dump from a containerized environment to ensure efficient monitoring.
