NAME
jcmd - send diagnostic command requests to a running Java Virtual
Machine (JVM)
SYNOPSIS
jcmd [pid | main-class]
command...
| PerfCounter.print | -f filename
jcmd [-l]
jcmd -h
- pid
-
When used, the jcmd utility sends the diagnostic command
request to the process ID for the Java process.
- main-class
-
When used, the jcmd utility sends the diagnostic command
request to all Java processes with the specified name of the main class.
- command
-
The command must be a valid jcmd command for the
selected JVM.
The list of available commands for jcmd is obtained by running
the help command (jcmd pid help)
where pid is the process ID for the running Java process.
If the pid is 0, commands will be sent to all Java
processes.
The main class argument will be used to match, either partially or
fully, the class used to start Java.
If no options are given, it lists the running Java process identifiers
with the main class and command-line arguments that were used to launch
the process (the same as using -l).
- Perfcounter.print
-
Prints the performance counters exposed by the specified Java process.
- -f filename
-
Reads and executes commands from a specified file, filename.
- -l
-
Displays the list of Java Virtual Machine process identifiers that are
not running in a separate docker process along with the main class and
command-line arguments that were used to launch the process.
If the JVM is in a docker process, you must use tools such as
ps to look up the PID.
-
Note:
Using jcmd without arguments is the same as using
jcmd -l.
- -h
-
Displays the jcmd utility's command-line help.
DESCRIPTION
The jcmd utility is used to send diagnostic command requests
to the JVM.
It must be used on the same machine on which the JVM is running, and
have the same effective user and group identifiers that were used to
launch the JVM.
Each diagnostic command has its own set of arguments.
To display the description, syntax, and a list of available arguments
for a diagnostic command, use the name of the command as the argument.
For example:
-
jcmd pid help command
If arguments contain spaces, then you must surround them with single or
double quotation marks (' or ").
In addition, you must escape single or double quotation marks with a
backslash (\) to prevent the operating system shell from
processing quotation marks.
Alternatively, you can surround these arguments with single quotation
marks and then with double quotation marks (or with double quotation
marks and then with single quotation marks).
If you specify the process identifier (pid) or the main class
(main-class) as the first argument, then the jcmd
utility sends the diagnostic command request to the Java process with
the specified identifier or to all Java processes with the specified
name of the main class.
You can also send the diagnostic command request to all available Java
processes by specifying 0 as the process identifier.
COMMANDS FOR JCMD
The command must be a valid jcmd diagnostic command
for the selected JVM.
The list of available commands for jcmd is obtained by running
the help command (jcmd pid help)
where pid is the process ID for a running Java process.
If the pid is 0, commands will be sent to all Java
processes.
The main class argument will be used to match, either partially or
fully, the class used to start Java.
If no options are given, it lists the running Java process identifiers
that are not in separate docker processes along with the main class and
command-line arguments that were used to launch the process (the same as
using -l).

- help [options] [arguments]

If no filename is given, a filename is generated from the PID and the
current date and is placed in the directory where the process was
started.
The filename may also be a directory in which case, the filename is
generated from the PID and the current date in the specified directory.
If %p and/or %t is specified in the filename, it expands to the
JVM's PID and the current timestamp, respectively.
(STRING, no default value)

(STRING, system-generated default name)
- •
-
path-to-gc-root: (Optional) Flag for saving the path to
garbage collection (GC) roots at the end of a recording.
The path information is useful for finding memory leaks but collecting
it is time consuming.
Turn on this flag only when you have an application that you suspect has
a memory leak.
If the settings parameter is set to 'profile', then
the information collected includes the stack trace from where the
potential leaking object was allocated.
(BOOLEAN, false)
- •
-
settings: (Optional) Name of the settings file that identifies
which events to record.
To specify more than one file, separate the names with a comma
(',').
Include the path if the file is not in JAVA-HOME/lib/jfr.
The following profiles are included with the JDK in the
JAVA-HOME/lib/jfr directory: 'default.jfc': collects a
predefined set of information with low overhead, so it has minimal
impact on performance and can be used with recordings that run
continuously; 'profile.jfc': Provides more data than the
'default.jfc' profile, but with more overhead and impact on
performance.
Use this configuration for short periods of time when more information
is needed.
Use none to start a recording without a predefined
configuration file.
(STRING, JAVA-HOME/lib/jfr/default.jfc)
Event settings and .jfc options can be specified using the following
syntax:
- •
-
option: (Optional) Specifies the option value to modify.
To list available options, use the JAVA_HOME/bin/jfr tool.
- •
-
event-setting: (Optional) Specifies the event setting value to
modify.
Use the form: <event-name>#<setting-name>=<value> To add a new
event setting, prefix the event name with '+'.
You can specify values for multiple event settings and .jfc options by
separating them with a whitespace.
In case of a conflict between a parameter and a .jfc option, the
parameter will take precedence.
The whitespace delimiter can be omitted for timespan values, i.e.
20ms.
For more information about the settings syntax, see Javadoc of the
jdk.jfr package.
