[SOLVED] Monitoring memory usage

[toby]

I would like to track and record the memory usage numbers as reported by Union Admin,
rather than just sit there staring at Union Admin, and making notes or something.

I could see a couple of ways to do that, but cannot pin down an API.

1) write an admin client, which sends A6 and receives A7 messages,
as Union Admin does. I could not find any documentation on how to do that,
or the format of those messages.

2) do something similar, but using a server module.
However, in looking at the server class, http://unionplatform.com/docs/union/api ... erver.html
I see that it can retrieve some of the things Union Admin reports
(such as getStartTime() and getLifetimeNumRooms), but not getMemoryInUse or whatever.

If there is way to take either of those approaches, I'd appreciate a pointer to the
relevant documenation.

Hi toby,

1) You can find information on the admin messages at the uap page.

2) The Union code is just using the Runtime class to access memory statistics. Your server module might more flexibly do the same to get the exact statistics you want.

Cheers,
