I'm currently building a Java app that could end up being run on many different platforms, but primarily variants of Solaris, Linux and Windows.
Has anyone been able to successfully extract information such as the current disk space used, CPU utilisation and memory used in the underlying OS? What about just what the Java app itself is consuming?
Preferrably I'd like to get this information without using JNI.
The java.lang.management package does give you a whole lot more info than Runtime - for example it will give you heap memory (ManagementFactory.getMemoryMXBean().getHeapMemoryUsage()) separate from non-heap memory (ManagementFactory.getMemoryMXBean().getNonHeapMemoryUsage()).
You can also get process CPU usage (without writing your own JNI code), but you need to cast the java.lang.management.OperatingSystemMXBean to a com.sun.management.OperatingSystemMXBean. This works on Windows and Linux, I haven't tested it elsewhere.
For example ... call the get getCpuUsage() method more frequently to get more accurate readings.
public class PerformanceMonitor {
private int availableProcessors = getOperatingSystemMXBean().getAvailableProcessors();
private long lastSystemTime = 0;
private long lastProcessCpuTime = 0;
public synchronized double getCpuUsage()
{
if ( lastSystemTime == 0 )
{
baselineCounters();
return;
}
long systemTime = System.nanoTime();
long processCpuTime = 0;
if ( getOperatingSystemMXBean() instanceof OperatingSystemMXBean )
{
processCpuTime = ( (OperatingSystemMXBean) getOperatingSystemMXBean() ).getProcessCpuTime();
}
double cpuUsage = (double) ( processCpuTime - lastProcessCpuTime ) / ( systemTime - lastSystemTime );
lastSystemTime = systemTime;
lastProcessCpuTime = processCpuTime;
return cpuUsage / availableProcessors;
}
private void baselineCounters()
{
lastSystemTime = System.nanoTime();
if ( getOperatingSystemMXBean() instanceof OperatingSystemMXBean )
{
lastProcessCpuTime = ( (OperatingSystemMXBean) getOperatingSystemMXBean() ).getProcess
