Quick Start¶
1. Start Demo Application¶
$ 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
2. Start Arthas¶
Linux/Unix/Mac¶
Execute the following command in the command line:
$ 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.jarorsudo -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/arthasfor troubleshooting. java -jar arthas-boot.jar -hprint usage.
Select the target Java process to attach:
$ $ 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:
[INFO] Try to attach process 71560
[INFO] Attach process 71560 success.
[INFO] arthas-client connect 127.0.0.1 3658

4. Get the Main Class of the process with the thread command¶
$ thread -n -1 | grep 'main('
at demo.MathGame.main(MathGame.java:17)
5. Decompile Main Class with jad command¶
$ jad demo.MathGame

7. 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.
