Best Way to Profile Remote App

Post by jennykumeo »

Hi,

I have been reading through the manual to see if I could figure this out on my own, but am stuck. What we would like to do is set up a profiler on a remote server and record CPU, memory, thread usage for a specified time period (e.g. midnight to 6:oo a.m.). Ideally, we can turn the profiler on, let it run, turn it off and then review the data. Over the course of a few days, we would collect the same types of data over several periods and as we tweak different settings (memory, JVM memory, thread pool sizes) see what gets us the best performance.
I think the best way to set this up is to use the CLI tool.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Please consider triggers:

In particular, note the part "How to specify triggers on startup".
