## monitor/watch/trace - related
::: warning
**Attention**: commands here are taking advantage of byte-code-injection, which means we are injecting some [aspects](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming) into the current classes for monitoring and statistics purpose. Therefore, when using it for online troubleshooting in your production environment, you'd better **explicitly specify** classes/methods/criteria, and remember to remove the injected code by `stop` or `reset`.
:::
- [monitor](monitor.md) - monitor method execution statistics
- [watch](watch.md) - display the input/output parameter, return object, and thrown exception of specified method invocation
- [trace](trace.md) - trace the execution time of specified method invocation
- [stack](stack.md) - display the stack trace for the specified class and method
- [tt](tt.md) - time tunnel, record the arguments and returned value for the methods and replay
## authentication
- [auth](auth.md) - authentication
## options
- [options](options.md) - check/set Arthas global options
## profiler/flame graph
- [profiler](profiler.md) - use [async-profiler](https://github.com/jvm-profiling-tools/async-profiler) to generate flame graph
## pipe
Arthas provides `pipe` to process the result returned from commands further, e.g. `sm java.lang.String * | grep 'index'`. Commands supported in `pipe`:
- grep - filter the result with the given keyword
- plaintext - remove the ANSI color
- wc - count lines
## async jobs
[async](async.md) can be handy when a problem is hardly to reproduce in the production environment, e.g. one `watch` condition may happen only once in one single day.
- job control - use `>` to redirect result into the log file, use `&` to put the job to the background. Job keeps running even if the session is disconnected (the session lifecycle is 1 day by default)
- jobs - list all jobs
- kill - forcibly terminate the job
- fg - bring the suspend job to the foreground
- bg - put the job to run in the background
## Web Console
Arthas supports living inside a browser. The communication between arthas and browser is via websocket.

## Start as a Java Agent

## as.sh and arthas-boot tips
- Select the process to be attached via the `select` option.
Normally, `as.sh`/`arthas-boot.jar` needs to a pid, bacause the pid will change.
For example, with `math-game.jar` already started, use the `jps` command to see.
```bash
$ jps
58883 math-game.jar
58884 Jps
```
The `select` option allows you to specify a process name, which is very convenient.
```bash
$ ./as.sh --select math-game

## User data report
After the `3.1.4` version, arthas support user data report.
At startup, use the `stat-url` option, such as: `./as.sh --stat-url 'http://192.168.10.11:8080/api/stat'`
There is a sample data report in the tunnel server that users can implement on their own.
