Title: Displaying Application Events in Thermostat Using Byteman

Duration: 30 minutes?

Abstract:

Thermostat is more than just an open source tool for performance
monitoring and analysis of the JVM. It is also an extensible platform
which supports development of many different data capture and
visualization tools, allowing users to collate and display disparate
data from a runtime environment. One such extension currently being
developed by Red Hat is a Byteman plugin. Events and data captured by
Byteman rules can be reported to the Thermostat agent and displayed in
the Thermostat user interface.

This talk will provide a preview of the Byteman Thermostat plugin in
action. Byteman will be used to inject rules into a running application
and into the underlying JDK runtime. These rules will all use the
Thermostat-Byteman Helper, provided as part of the plugin
implementation, to pass a variety of data through to the Thermostat
agent. The data will be collected and rendered using several of the
available Thermostat information displays. By making simple changes to
the loaded rule sets and the corresponding displays we will show how you
can rapidly shift focus from viewing one set of application events to
another.
