Interpreting resource pool diagnostic data

You can view diagnostic information for troubleshooting purposes in NexJ System Admin Console on the current state of a dynamic resource pool. You can also view diagnostic information in application logs.

The following relevant information displays for the Pool Manager component:

refCount

The number of deactivation locks held by the model. The pool manager shuts down after the model releases all the locks.

dirty

Indicates whether managed resources are available. Managed resources are available when the pool manager has successful started at least one of the dynamic resource pools that it manages.

receiveEnabled

Indicates whether the pool is running consumers. The pool is running consumers when the pool manager has started thread pools for the channels configured with "receive" enabled.

started

Indicates whether the pool manager is started.

The following relevant information displays for Dynamic Pools:

busyTimeout

The amount of time in milliseconds within which the pool must return a resource. If the time is exceeded, an exception occurs.

idleTimeout

The time in milliseconds after which a resource not in use by the system is deallocated, or removed from memory, by the pool.

maxSize

The maximum number of resources the pool can allocate.

activeCount

The number of resources that are "in use" by the resource pool. For example, a resource is in use when the model has requested a resource but has not yet returned it to the pool.

idleCount

The number of resources that are considered "unused" by the resource pool. For example, an unused resource has been returned to the pool by the model.

Active

Active resources contain the following information:

  • lastUse
    The amount of time in milliseconds since the model used the resource. For example, for a database connection, the amount of time since the model issued a command to the database using this connection.
  • refCount
    The number of active locks held by the model. The model tracking resources as "in use" that it must later return it to the pool. The refCount for an active resource should always be greater than 0.
  • DiagnosticTraceHolder
    The allocation stack frame for the resource. This includes the threadName, schemeStack, and systemStack. The threadName is the name of the thread on which the resource was allocated. The schemeStack and systemStack display the model stack trace and JVM stack trace, respectively.

Idle

Idle resources contain the following information:

  • lastUse
    The amount of time in milliseconds since the model returned the resource to the pool.
  • refCount
    The number of active locks held by the model. The refCount for an idle resource should always be 0.

The following example show sample diagnostic information that displays in NexJ System Admin Console:
