Any gotcha's for command line export of reports?

[Michael.Scaman]

I am not seeing what's wrong but neither am I seeing reports generated

I am in the director with the generated snapshots...
/usr/share/tomcat/Snapshots

When I try to expand captured snapshots to folder reports in all formats (which is in the cur dir) I don't see any
java -jar /var/lib/yjp-2014-build-14120/lib/yjp.jar -export Tomcat-2015-03-13.snapshot reports

This is on linux.
Do I need to install the licence I have for the UI? or download something additional?

thanks

Do you get any error messages?
Please try full paths instead of relative paths to ensure you know where to expect the results.

[Michael.Scaman]

ok... no valid license key... maybe you could put in the error message the location to put the licence?

java -jar /var/lib/yjp-2014-build-14120/lib/yjp.jar -export /usr/share/tomcat/Snapshots/Tomcat-2015-03-14-1.snapshot /usr/share/tomcat/Snapshots/reports

I have a UI on windows with my key

do I have to put it in one spot and maybe ftp the files to that spot to export with my key?

[Anton Katilin]

Yes, you need the license key to use the export functionality.

Please put the license key to <user home>/.yjp/license-key-1.txt under the same user as you run the export command.

[Michael.Scaman]

OK, that works. Thanks

Which reports files would one look in for exception reports or deadlock detection ? Any way of seeing them broken out like the tabs in the UI? or is that only through the UI?

[Anton Katilin]

Exceptions and deadlocks are not exported. They are available in the UI only. Furthermore, a deadlock in the corresponding tab, if detected, is show when the profiler UI is connected to a profiled application but is not stored in a snapshot.

[Michael.Scaman]

OK... so exceptions and deadlocks would be manual UI from the snapshots ?

but also can be collected using the Controller API in java?

Only exceptions.

Deadlock detector is available only when the profiler UI is connected to a running profiled application. This information is not available in snapshots (not stored to).

Instead, in a snapshot, you can analyze thread states in Threads. If you find that some threads are blocked forever, you may suspect a deadlock.

but also can be collected using the Controller API in java?

Controller can capture snapshots. If exception recording is on, the results will be in the snapshot.
