Analyzer java-read-volume-fgraph

Name

java-read-volume-fgraph - Java-Land Virtual File System Read/Sendfile Volume Flame Graph

This analyzer profiles the data volume of virtual file system read and sendfile operations in Java-land code execution within JVM applications. It captures stack traces and byte counts for file read and sendfile system calls. The analyzer generates flame graphs that visualize the volume of data read across different code paths, helping identify large file transfers, inefficient data access patterns, and I/O throughput issues in Java applications.

Resource Category

Disk I/O.

Application Type & Technical Stack

  • Java

Command Line Syntax

The analyzer can be invoked directly on the command-line via the orxray utility from the openresty-xray-cli software package.

Alternatively, the analyzer can also be invoked manually or automatically on the web console UI of OpenResty XRay (like on the Advanced web page).

# PID is the target process PID.
orxray analyzer run java-read-volume-fgraph -p PID

# trace a shell command directly
orxray analyzer run java-read-volume-fgraph -c SHELL_CMD

# PGID is the process group ID or any process's PID within the target process
# group.
orxray analyzer run java-read-volume-fgraph -p -PGID

# trace any processes started from the specified executable path.
orxray analyzer run java-read-volume-fgraph --exe /path/to/exe/file

Tracing Multiple Processes

Supported.
