Description:

JBoss Profiler is a log based profiler using JVMPI and JVMTI.
It uses an agent written in C that captures events from the
JVM and logs them to disk. A web application running on JBoss
or another machine can be used to analyze these logs through a
web browser.

Using log files is especially useful for server application
analysis. Creating profiling snapshots without the need of a
front-end near the JVM means the data can be analyzed#
remotely.

Imagine if your application server slows down and you don't know
why. Why should you have to install a complex tool environment or
have to send data through an open port, breaking firewall rules
between the profiler front-end and the JVMPI/JVMTI JBoss Profiler
can be easily run though your web browser instead.

NOTE: You may have to add a few things on the classpath for running the
profiler console (jgraph, jfreechart, jcommon...).
The AS should provide what is needed for the data # collection during run-time.
