Developer Conference 2014

It is important to understand your Java application's behavior at runtime. This becomes business critical if your application behaves poorly when deployed in production. Having data for analyzing your Java application's misbehavior can be crucial. Thermostat helps with that and provides developers and admins with a framework for Java application monitoring and instrumentation.

Thermostat comes with recording and visualization capabilities for your Java application. It also allows for decoupling of metric recording and its analysis. What's more, Thermostat supports remote monitoring and instrumentation of the system which is hosting your Java application while keeping the extra overhead minimal. In short, it can provide an inside perspective of what's happening inside your OpenJDK JVM while it's executing your application.

In this session we'll show some of Thermostat's out-of-the-box-features and we will conclude with a hands-on workshop developing a simple Thermostat plug-in. This plug-in will perform certain actions based on events happening at runtime in a remote Java application. Attendants will be guided through the process of creating this plug-in and will furthermore see how easy it is to extend Thermostat in order for it to do what YOU need it to perform.
