  1. Monitoring of resource consumptionin Java-based application servers Jarle HulaasJarle.Hulaas@epfl.ch Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) Switzerland (Formerly at CUI, Uni Geneva) Dimitri Kalaskalas8@etu.unige.ch University of Geneva Switzerland 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland July 7, 2003

  2. Overview • What is Resource Management ? • Our General Approach • Some Details on our J-RAF Tool • Management of a Servlet Engine • Adapting J-RAF to Tomcat • Assessment 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  3. What is Resource Management ? • Physical resources: • CPU • (Virtual) Memory • Network bandwidth • Management of resources: • Monitoring of consumption • Controlling (i.e. limiting) it 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  4. Benefits of Resource Management • Software development • Monitoring and profiling of distributed applications • Security • Prevention against Denial-of-Service attacks • Reliability • More robust behaviours in presence of resource shortage • Accountability (liability) for resource consumption • E-commerce • Billing for resource consumption • Quality-of-Service guarantees, load balancing 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  5. www. .org The Java Resource Accounting Framework, 2nd edition What about Java ? • Problem: Java offers no support for resource management ! • Our solution: portable resource management through byte-code rewriting schemes 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  6. Per-thread accounting objects Meta-level Mem CPU Net Execution hooks Rewrite bytecode Transformed, resource-aware version of Application OriginalJava Application(compiled) General Approach 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland Execute

  7. Our Solution • Program transformations to expose resource consumption • Application classes and libraries, incl. JDK • Rewritten programs unknowingly update accounting objects • CPU: count the number of executed JVM instructions • Memory: redirection of memory allocations • Network bandwidth: wrapper libraries 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  9. Method Rewriting by J-RAF Object f (int x, MemAccObj mem, CPUAccObj cpu) { cpu.usage += 8; if (x < 0) { cpu.usage += 8; return null; } else { cpu.usage += 26; int y = g(x, mem, cpu); mem.checkAllocation(SIZEOF_FOO); Object o = new Foo(y, mem, cpu); mem.register(o); return o; } } 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  10. Resource-aware Application High-level Resource Accounting & Control Low-level Resource Acc&Control (Memory, CPU) Resource-aware JDK JVM Native Code Generic Application Structure Bytecode Rewriting 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  11. J-RAF in Action • CPU monitoring for some multi-threaded applet 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  12. Validation of the J-RAF approach • Tested on J2SE … • arbitrary applications, as well as applet and mobile agent environments • Sun 1.4.1 HotSpot Virtual Machine,IBM JDK 1.3.1 • … and on J2ME (embedded devices) … • dedicated system with Java processor from aJile Systems 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  13. Benchmarks for CPU accounting SPEC JVM98 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  14. Resource Mgmt for Servlet Engines Resource Mgmt for Servlet Engines Servlet Engines Access rights HTML, streams Requests Reporting 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland End-user Provider’s Database

  15. Objectives • Fine-grained basis for: • Usage-based billing(pricing policies are out of our scope) • Identification of bottlenecks • Badly programmed or malicious apps • Load-balancing on clusters of servers 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  16. Required J-RAF extensions • Define a servlet as a coherent set of threads • Flexible concept of client (end-user) context • Enhanced detection of bandwidth consumption • Remote reporting 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  17. Servlets as sets of threads • How to detect the start and end of a request processing ? • Special rewriting of methods like doGet and doPost, to cope with Tomcat’s thread pooling • Register and account for created sub-threads • Add a RequestAccount class for aggregating usage of all these threads 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  18. User-level accounting • Periodically do: • Summarize usage of all individual threads inside a servlet • Summarize usage of all servlets run on behalf of a given user • Report this usage to a database • Problems that had to be solved: • Overflow of counters at all levels • Calibration of timeslices according to processing power 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  19. User context • Allow servlet programmers to define their own: • Authentication schemes, IP-based or password-based • Programmer must implement a ClientID interface • Read usage rights from database • User data reporting schemes • Allow extensible reporting of user data, e.g. session IDs 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  20. Bytecode Rewriting Resource-aware Servlet High-level Resource Accounting & Control Low-level Resource Acc&Control (Memory, CPU) Resource-aware Servlet Engine Resource-aware JDK JVM Native Code Resulting Servlet Structure 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  21. Sample Log for a Given Client Servlet name Timestamp JVM ops/s In+Out Bandwidth [Bytes/s] 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  22. Performance Testing • Setting: Pentium-class PCs in a 100Mb LAN, Tomcat 4.1, MySQL 4.0.13 • Generate many simultaneous connections with Jmeter 1.8.1 • Different test servlets: • Output of an empty page • Streaming of factorials • Download, ZIP-compress, and output a web page 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  23. Preliminary Performance Results 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland Overhead due to CPU monitoring • Average overhead: same order of magnitude as for standard Java applications (~ 30 %)

  24. Cons • Purely a Java-level framework: • Difficult to account for resources consumed by native code • No real-time / resource reservation capabilities • Increase of code size • Restrictions on what servlets may do • to play with thread priorities • to perform introspection to inspect or modify accounting objects 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland

  25. Conclusions • Initial work towards fine-grained management of Java servers • Reasonable overheads • Future work: • Finalize management of memory • Improve control vs monitoring • Support for clusters of servers www.jraf2.org 7/7/2003 10th HP-OVUA workshop, Geneva, Switzerland
