Interface ThreadMXBean

  • All Superinterfaces:
    PlatformManagedObject, ThreadMXBean
    public interface ThreadMXBean
extends ThreadMXBean
    Platform-specific management interface for the thread system of the Java virtual machine.

    This platform extension is only available to a thread implementation that supports this extension.

    • Method Detail

      • getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes

        default long getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes()
        Returns an approximation of the total amount of memory, in bytes, allocated in heap memory for the current thread. The returned value is an approximation because some Java virtual machine implementations may use object allocation mechanisms that result in a delay between the time an object is allocated and the time its size is recorded.

        This is a convenience method for local management use and is equivalent to calling: 

           getThreadAllocatedBytes(Thread.currentThread().getId());
        Returns:
        an approximation of the total memory allocated, in bytes, in heap memory for the current thread if thread memory allocation measurement is enabled; -1 otherwise.
        Throws:
        UnsupportedOperationException - if the Java virtual machine implementation does not support thread memory allocation measurement.

      • getThreadAllocatedBytes

        long getThreadAllocatedBytes​(long id)
        Returns an approximation of the total amount of memory, in bytes, allocated in heap memory for the thread with the specified ID. The returned value is an approximation because some Java virtual machine implementations may use object allocation mechanisms that result in a delay between the time an object is allocated and the time its size is recorded.

        If the thread with the specified ID is not alive or does not exist, this method returns -1. If thread memory allocation measurement is disabled, this method returns -1. A thread is alive if it has been started and has not yet died.

        If thread memory allocation measurement is enabled after the thread has started, the Java virtual machine implementation may choose any time up to and including the time that the capability is enabled as the point where thread memory allocation measurement starts.

        Parameters:
        id - the thread ID of a thread
        Returns:
        an approximation of the total memory allocated, in bytes, in heap memory for the thread with the specified ID if the thread with the specified ID exists, the thread is alive, and thread memory allocation measurement is enabled; -1 otherwise.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if id <= 0.
        UnsupportedOperationException - if the Java virtual machine implementation does not support thread memory allocation measurement.

      • getThreadAllocatedBytes

        long[] getThreadAllocatedBytes​(long[] ids)
        Returns an approximation of the total amount of memory, in bytes, allocated in heap memory for each thread whose ID is in the input array ids. The returned values are approximations because some Java virtual machine implementations may use object allocation mechanisms that result in a delay between the time an object is allocated and the time its size is recorded.

        This method is equivalent to calling the getThreadAllocatedBytes(long) method for each thread ID in the input array ids and setting the returned value in the corresponding element of the returned array.

        Parameters:
        ids - an array of thread IDs.
        Returns:
        an array of long values, each of which is an approximation of the total memory allocated, in bytes, in heap memory for the thread whose ID is in the corresponding element of the input array of IDs.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if ids is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if any element in the input array ids is <= 0.
        UnsupportedOperationException - if the Java virtual machine implementation does not support thread memory allocation measurement.

      • isThreadAllocatedMemorySupported

        boolean isThreadAllocatedMemorySupported()
        Tests if the Java virtual machine implementation supports thread memory allocation measurement.
        Returns:
        true if the Java virtual machine implementation supports thread memory allocation measurement; false otherwise.

      • isThreadAllocatedMemoryEnabled

        boolean isThreadAllocatedMemoryEnabled()
        Tests if thread memory allocation measurement is enabled.
        Returns:
        true if thread memory allocation measurement is enabled; false otherwise.
        Throws:
        UnsupportedOperationException - if the Java virtual machine does not support thread memory allocation measurement.
        See Also:
        isThreadAllocatedMemorySupported()

      • setThreadAllocatedMemoryEnabled

        void setThreadAllocatedMemoryEnabled​(boolean enable)
        Enables or disables thread memory allocation measurement. The default is platform dependent.
        Parameters:
        enable - true to enable; false to disable.
        Throws:
        UnsupportedOperationException - if the Java virtual machine does not support thread memory allocation measurement.
        SecurityException - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("control").
