JVM online analysis-Tool 2 for solving problems (jcmd, jdb, jhsdb)

1. jcmd

(base) PS C:\Users\zishi> jcmd -h
Usage: jcmd <pid | main class> <command ...|PerfCounter.print|-f file>
   or: jcmd -l
   or: jcmd -h

  command must be a valid jcmd command for the selected jvm.
  Use the command "help" to see which commands are available.
  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, lists Java processes (same as -l).

  PerfCounter.print display the counters exposed by this process
  -f read and execute commands from the file
  -l list JVM processes on the local machine
  -? -h --help print this help message

How to use

Usage: jcmd <pid | main class> <command ...|PerfCounter.print|-f file>

help

For more information about a specific command use 'help <command>'.
(base) PS C:\Users\zishi> jcmd 8196 help help
8196:
help
For more information about a specific command use 'help <command>'. With no argument this will show a list of available commands. 'help all' will show help for all commands.

Impact: Low

Syntax: help [options] [<command name>]

Arguments:
        command name : [optional] The name of the command for which we want help (STRING, no default value)

Options: (options must be specified using the <key> or <key>=<value> syntax)
        -all : [optional] Show help for all commands (BOOLEAN, false)
