James, What other details can I provide? It does sound like JMX is the standard. When running jstat with my JAVA PID $ jstat -gc 19326 Could not attach to 19326 I don't have JMX configured. After some reading it seems that I need to get a Mbeans server running. Is this what I have to do? http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jmx/mbeans/standard.html On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 1:15 PM, James Mcphee wrote: > We'd need more details to give you much more than "Using JMX or jstat > would be easiest" > > Example: > ./jstat -gc 27104 > S0C S1C S0U S1U EC EU OC OU PC > PU YGC YGCT FGC FGCT GCT > 20928.0 21312.0 0.0 4864.0 305728.0 128383.7 262656.0 223537.3 > 170240.0 130738.6 295 6.912 10 8.268 15.180 > > http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/share/jstat.html > > > On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 1:05 PM, Vimal Shah wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> Does anyone have a step by step guide to getting monitoring (heap stack) >> set up of a Java app on an Amazon VPC box?
