connection pool monitoring on a cluster
Posted:

I've got a 2 node GF2 cluster and I'm trying to enable connection pool monitoring on it (following http://blogs.sun.com/JagadishPrasath/entry/monitoring_jdbc_connection_pool_glassfish which is a good howto).
Because I'm on a cluster, the server instances use a different configuration (clustername-config) to the DAS (server-config). It looks like the admin webapp lets you enable JDBC monitoring for the clustername-config configuration, but you can only view things under 'server-config' (i.e. things on the DAS).
I tried the commandline instead and had more luck. It looks like there's an entry for the pool under each server instance:
gfish$ asadmin list --monitor=true *prod-pool* inst01.resources.prod-pool inst02.resources.prod-pool
So my first question is : can I see these values via the admin webapp?
Also, it looks like each server instance has its own copy of the pool, that's right isn't it (in my mental model, they were sharing a global pool and checking out their own connections)?
If I browse around under those entries I can find stats on the pool(s?) themselves, but they don't seem to add up:
gfish$ asadmin get --monitor=true inst*.resources.prod-pool.numconn*-current
inst01.resources.prod-pool.numconnfree-current = 7 inst01.resources.prod-pool.numconnused-current = 0 inst02.resources.prod-pool.numconnfree-current = 6 inst02.resources.prod-pool.numconnused-current = 0
I expect the database to be failry quiet (I memcache the hell out of this app) but both the pools have an initial size of 8 (the default), so I can't figure out where the other connections are?
Have I missed an entry, or am I just not understanding the values?
Tried the same thing on my desktop (same version of GFv2 but in developer profile, so everything is under 'server') and it behaved as expected.

To answer my own question : yes, under
clusters -> <cluster-name> - > instances -> <pick an instance> -> monitor
would still like to know why the values below don't seem to add up, though.

Yes, this can be done though showing the added/avg values for a cluster will be a bit tricky, IMO. eg: avg-connection-wait-time : One instance may serve better than the other (though the configuration remains the same) as the load on it is affected by various parameters. We can not take avg (or sum) for these values as they won't provide a realistic view for the administrator.
Please raise an RFE (ENHANCEMENT) for "monitoring" subcomponent, if there isn't one already.
You can use AMX to collect monitoring information from both the instances and add them. > > > Also, it looks like each server instance has its own copy of the pool, > > that's right isn't it Yes. each instance maintains its own pool. > > (in my mental model, they were sharing a global pool and checking out > > their own connections)? > > > > If I browse around under those entries I can find stats on the > > pool(s?) themselves, but they don't seem to add up: > > > > gfish$ asadmin get --monitor=true inst*.resources.prod-pool.numconn*-current > > > > inst01.resources.prod-pool.numconnfree-current = 7 > > inst01.resources.prod-pool.numconnused-current = 0 > > inst02.resources.prod-pool.numconnfree-current = 6 > > inst02.resources.prod-pool.numconnused-current = 0 > > > > I expect the database to be failry quiet (I memcache the hell out of > > this app) but > > both the pools have an initial size of 8 (the default), so I can't > > figure out where the other connections are?

Hi Jagadish, thanks for getting back to me.

No, that's fine - if the pools are per-instance it's not all that useful to aggregate them anyway. asadmin, amx or Jruby-jmx is fine for my purposes.
I was talking about the individual pools tallying up (further down).

After the weekend yes - the DBA is off to Cornwall for a lie down, but back monday I believe.
But whatever's going on back there, I'd expect these figures to add up, and they don't seem to. Is there somewhere else they might appear (e.g. leaks?)

Probably, you can enable connection-leak-tracing in the connection-pool to see the code that's leaking the connections.

Thanks Jagadish, have a better idea what's what now, see 'connection pool monitoring, take 2' thread
