12.6. JMX Connector
The JMX connector provides the ability to query JMX information from all nodes in a Presto cluster. This is very useful for monitoring or debugging. Java Management Extensions (JMX) provides information about the Java Virtual Machine and all of the software running inside it. Presto itself is heavily instrumented via JMX.
This connector can also be configured so that chosen JMX information will be periodically dumped and stored in memory for later access.
Configuration
To configure the JMX connector, create a catalog properties file
~/.prestoadmin/catalog/jmx.properties
with the following contents:
connector.name=jmx
To enable periodical dumps, define the following properties:
connector.name=jmx
jmx.dump-tables=java.lang:type=Runtime,com.facebook.presto.execution.scheduler:name=NodeScheduler
jmx.dump-period=10s
jmx.max-entries=86400
dump-tables
is a comma separated list of Managed Beans (MBean). It specifies
which MBeans will be sampled and stored in memory every dump-period
.
History will have limited size of max-entries
of entries. Both dump-period
and max-entries
have default values of 10s
and 86400
accordingly.
Commas in MBean names should be escaped in the following manner:
connector.name=jmx
jmx.dump-tables=com.facebook.presto.memory:type=memorypool\\,name=general,\
com.facebook.presto.memory:type=memorypool\\,name=system,\
com.facebook.presto.memory:type=memorypool\\,name=reserved
Querying JMX
The JMX connector provides two schemas.
The first one is current
that contains every MBean from every node in the Presto
cluster. You can see all of the available MBeans by running SHOW TABLES
:
SHOW TABLES FROM jmx.current;
MBean names map to non-standard table names and must be quoted with double quotes when referencing them in a query. For example, the following query shows the JVM version of every node:
SELECT node, vmname, vmversion
FROM jmx.current."java.lang:type=runtime";
node | vmname | vmversion
--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------
ddc4df17-0b8e-4843-bb14-1b8af1a7451a | Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM | 24.60-b09
(1 row)
The following query shows the open and maximum file descriptor counts for each node:
SELECT openfiledescriptorcount, maxfiledescriptorcount
FROM jmx.current."java.lang:type=operatingsystem";
openfiledescriptorcount | maxfiledescriptorcount
-------------------------+------------------------
329 | 10240
(1 row)
The history
schema contains the list of tables configured in the connector properties file.
The tables have the same columns as those in the current schema, but with an additional
timestamp column that stores the time at which the snapshot was taken:
SELECT "timestamp", "uptime" FROM jmx.history."java.lang:type=runtime";
timestamp | uptime
-------------------------+--------
2016-01-28 10:18:50.000 | 11420
2016-01-28 10:19:00.000 | 21422
2016-01-28 10:19:10.000 | 31412
