Quick Start =========== ## 1. Start Demo Application ```bash $ wget https://alibaba.github.io/arthas/arthas-demo.jar $ java -jar arthas-demo.jar ``` `arthas-demo` is a simple program that generates a random number every second, then find all prime factors of the number. The source code of `arthas-demo`: [View](https://github.com/alibaba/arthas/blob/master/demo/src/main/java/demo/MathGame.java) ## 2. Start Arthas ### Linux/Unix/Mac Execute the following command in the command line: ```bash $ wget https://alibaba.github.io/arthas/arthas-boot.jar $ java -jar arthas-boot.jar ``` * The user to run this command *MUST* have the same privilege as the owner of the target process, as a simple example you can try the following command if the target process is managed by user `admin`: `sudo su admin && java -jar arthas-boot.jar` or `sudo -u admin -EH java -jar arthas-boot.jar` * If you cannot be able to attach to the target process, please check the logs under `~/logs/arthas` for troubleshooting. * `java -jar arthas-boot.jar -h` print usage. Select the target Java process to attach: ```bash $ $ java -jar arthas-boot.jar * [1]: 35542 [2]: 71560 arthas-demo.jar ``` The 'Demo' process is the fourth as shown above, press '2' then 'Enter'. Arthas will attach to the target process, and start to output: ```bash [INFO] Try to attach process 71560 [INFO] Attach process 71560 success.

Check the Dashboard Type '[dashboard](dashboard.md)' and hit 'ENTER', a brief report on the current process will be shown as below, pls. `Ctrl+C` to stop: ```bash $ dashboard ID NAME GROUP PRIORI STATE %CPU TIME INTERRU DAEMON 17 pool-2-thread-1 system 5 WAITIN 67 0:0 false false 27 Timer-for-arthas-dashb system 10 RUNNAB 32 0:0 false true 11 AsyncAppender-Worker-a system 9 WAITIN 0 0:0 false true 9 Attach Listener system 9 RUNNAB 0 0:0 false true 3 Finalizer system 8 WAITIN 0 0:0 false true 2 Reference Handler system 10 WAITIN 0 0:0 false true 4 Signal Dispatcher system 9 RUNNAB 0 0:0 false true 26 as-command-execute-dae system 10 TIMED_ 0 0:0 false true 13 job-timeout system 9 TIMED_ 0 0:0 false true 1 main main 5 TIMED_ 0 0:0 false false 14 nioEventLoopGroup-2-1 system 10 RUNNAB 0 0:0 false false 18 nioEventLoopGroup-2-2 system 10 RUNNAB 0 0:0 false false 23 nioEventLoopGroup-2-3 system 10 RUNNAB 0 0:0 false false 15 nioEventLoopGroup-3-1 system 10 RUNNAB 0 0:0 false false Memory used total max usage GC heap 32M 155M 1820M 1.77% gc.ps_scavenge.count 4 ps_eden_space 14M 65M 672M 2.21% gc.ps_scavenge.time(m 166 ps_survivor_space 4M 5M 5M s) ps_old_gen 12M 85M 1365M 0.91% gc.ps_marksweep.count 0 nonheap 20M 23M -1 gc.ps_marksweep.time( 0 code_cache 3M 5M 240M 1.32% ms ) Runtime os.name Mac OS X os.version 10.13.4 java.version 1.8.0_162 java.home /Library/Java/JavaVir tualMachines/jdk1.8.0 _162.jdk/Contents/Hom e/jre ``` ## 4. Get the Main Class of the `arthas-demo` process with the thread command ```bash $ thread -n -1 | grep 'main(' at demo.MathGame.main(MathGame.java:17) ``` ## 5. Decompile Main Class with jad command ```java $ jad demo.MathGame ClassLoader: +-sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@3d4eac69 +-sun.misc.Launcher$ExtClassLoader@66350f69 Location: /tmp/arthas-demo.jar /* * Decompiled with CFR 0_132. */ package demo; import java.io.PrintStream; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.List; import java.util.Random; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class MathGame { private static Random random = new Random(); private int illegalArgumentCount = 0; public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { MathGame game = new MathGame(); do { game.run(); TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1L); } while (true); } public void run() throws InterruptedException { try { int number = random.nextInt(); List primeFactors = this.primeFactors(number); MathGame.print(number, primeFactors); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(String.format("illegalArgumentCount:%3d, ", this.illegalArgumentCount) + e.getMessage()); } } public static void print(int number, List primeFactors) { StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("" + number + "="); Iterator iterator = primeFactors.iterator(); while (iterator.hasNext()) { int factor = iterator.next(); sb.append(factor).append('*'); } if (sb.charAt(sb.length() - 1) == '*') { sb.deleteCharAt(sb.length() - 1); } System.out.println(sb); } public List primeFactors(int number) { if (number < 2) { ++this.illegalArgumentCount; throw new IllegalArgumentException("number is: " + number + ", need >= 2"); } ArrayList result = new ArrayList(); int i = 2; while (i <= number) { if (number % i == 0) { result.add(i); number /= i; i = 2; continue; } ++i; } return result; } } Affect(row-cnt:1) cost in 970 ms. ``` ## 6. watch Use '[watch](watch.md)' to view the return object of `demo.MathGame#primeFactors`: ```bash $ watch demo.MathGame primeFactors returnObj Press Ctrl+C to abort.

Exit Arthas Use `quit` or `exit` to disconnect from the current process. The Arthas instance attached to the target process continues to live inside the process, and its port is standby for further connection. Use `shutdown` to have Arthas completely quit from the target process.
