    1.83.0 - fixed: allow JDBC monitoring in Tomcat in an OSGi environment (Liferay 7+), thanks to Adrian Rodriguez. - improved: If there are http or sql requests with many dynamic values like "/get/entity/10" or "select * from table where id in (123, 456)" (dynamic values in sql without binded parameters), you should already use the javamelody parameters http-transform-pattern or sql-transform-pattern, in order to limit disk IO and disk space usage for the statistics and RRD graphs. If you forget that, some RRD files will now be automatically deleted everyday at midnight to limit the disk space used by RRD files under 20 MB. You may configure that limit with the javamelody parameter max-rrd-disk-usage-mb (20 by default). And old statistics and graphs are automatically deleted like before. - improved: Database report on locks for Postgresql 9.2+ - added: display sources of Tomcat's classes from stack-traces like for the webapp's dependencies - added: As an external API, dump of graphs values as XML or as TXT, for the choosen period or for all periods, with links to Last value, Dump XML, Dump TXT below the zoomed graphics

    1.75.0 Compatibility with Liferay 7.1 Fix #794 Compatibility with Google App Engine using Java 8. Fix #779 When using JSVC to launch Tomcat, InternalError: errno: 13 error: Unable to open directory /proc/self/fd Enhanced: added X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN in the reports. Added the Offline viewer tool for some degraded cases: If ever you don't have access to the online reports of javamelody on the running server, or if you want to view the reports of aggregated data for several instances of an application and you don't use the optional collect server and separated reports are not enough, or if you want to view the reports but the server is no longer running, or if you want some pdf reports and you have not included the iText dependency, then the offline viewer may be for you.

    1.74.0 - It is a recommended upgrade for security to fix a XML External Entity (XXE) processing vulnerability. CVE-ID is CVE-2018-15531. Thanks to mounsurf & huanying for reporting the vulnerability. - fix sql monitoring from jndi datasource when Tomcat's ServerInfo.properties is customized - fix: do not require Log4J when sending metrics to InfluxDB or Datadog. - added: native calendar widget to choose dates for a custom period (with help from my colleague Fabien at KleeGroup) - added: it is now possible to customize css and js of the monitoring reports by adding the /net/bull/javamelody/resource/themedMonitoring.css and /net/bull/javamelody/resource/themedMonitoring.js files as resources in your application, in order to override or add values. This is the case for example in the javamelody dark theme which is ready to use as a Maven dependency in your pom.xml: <dependency> <groupId>net.bull.javamelody</groupId> <artifactId>javamelody-dark-theme</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency>

    1.73.1 Compatibility with JDK 9: -Djdk.attach.allowAttachSelf=true is no longer required to have heap histogram and fix the display of source of a JDK class.
    Liferay Portal 6.1 CE GA2+
    2018-07-02
    1.73.0 - Compatibility with JDK 9: fix heap dump and heap histogram, display again the graphs of cpu, opened files and physical memory. Note: to have the memory histogram in JDK 9 or later, add -Djdk.attach.allowAttachSelf=true in the java command line. - Fix "no token found" with Prometheus integration for a Windows server. - Enhancement: After generating a heap dump, zip it to reduce its size. - Added: The mean number of allocated Kilobytes per request is now displayed in the stats, next to the mean cpu per request. It is the memory used in the heap per request and which will have to be cleaned by the Garbage Collector later. And when more memory is used per request, more cpu will be used by the GC. As an example, 1 Gb allocated in a request, without a good reason, is probably a problem. - Added: when crash logs (hs_err_pid*.log files) are found, display them in the system actions. - Added: in the zoomed charts, display of the 95th percentile line. It shows what would be the maximum on the period if 5% of the highest values (short peaks) were excluded. - fix rare issue: ArithmeticException: / by zero in JRobin RRD files. - Removed the prometheus-include-last-value javamelody parameter and replaced it by the includeLastValue http parameter (see doc in wiki).

    1.72.0 Fix #737 for StatsD integration. Fix #731: When using CloudWatch, Cloudwatch metric upload can't handle more then 20 items (with help from marcrelation). Fix #668: RrdException: Invalid timestamps specified in some particular case when using custom period. Enhanced: when using the optional collect server and when having several nodes in a monitored application, if a node is unavailable, continue to collect data with the others (#736).

    1.71.0 - Fix #700 for Prometheus integration (with help from Stefan Penndorf). - Fix #701 for Datadog integration (PR #702, thanks to bluegaspode). - Fix #718: NPE when displaying the webapp dependencies in some particular case. - improved: Warn in the reports if multiple instances use the same storage directory (#692) - improved: If the application-name parameter is defined, use it when publishing metrics to InfluxDB, Graphite, StatsD, CloudWatch or Datadog instead of the context path (#694) - added: When using the reports by mail, a new javamelody parameter mail-subject-prefix can be used to configure the subject of the mail notification. For example, in a Tomcat context file: <Parameter name='javamelody.mail-subject-prefix' value='Production environment JavaMelody reports for {0}' override='false'/> (PR #710, thanks to vkpandey82) - added: In the External API, the url monitoring?part=lastValue&format=json now returns all the last values by names. (The url monitoring?part=lastValue&graph=usedMemory already returns the last value of a single graph by name.)

    1.70.0 - added: integration with Prometheus: Metrics are already displayed in the monitoring reports. You can also scrape the same metrics from Prometheus at the frequency you wish for advanced visualizations, if you have a Prometheus server installed (thanks to slynn1324). See doc: https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/UserGuideAdvanced#exposing-metrics-to-prometheus - added integration with StatsD: Metrics are already displayed in the charts of the monitoring reports. As an extra, you can also publish the same metrics to StatsD, if you have a StatsD daemon installed. The parameter is statsd-address, see doc: https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/UserGuideAdvanced#sending-metrics-to-statsd - upgrade prototype.js, effects.js and slider.js

    2017-11-02
    1.69.0 - added integration with InfluxDB: Metrics are already displayed in the charts of the monitoring reports. Like integrations with Graphite and AWS CloudWatch, you can also publish the same metrics to InfluxDB for advanced visualizations, if you have an InfluxDB server installed. The parameter is influxdb-url, see doc: https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/UserGuideAdvanced#sending-metrics-to-influxdb - added integration with Datadog: Like for InfluxDB, you can also publish the same metrics to Datadog for advanced visualizations. The parameter is datadog-api-key, see doc: https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/UserGuideAdvanced#sending-metrics-to-datadog

    2017-09-09
    1.68.0.0 - improved (Brazilian) Portuguese translation (thanks to Sandro Giacomozzi). - Internal classes moved: Many internal classes, which were not public and all in the net.bull.javamelody package, are now moved to net.bull.javamelody.internal.* packages. - added integration with Graphite: Metrics are already displayed in the charts of the monitoring reports. As an extra, you can also publish the same metrics to Graphite for advanced visualizations in itself or in Grafana, if you have a Graphite server installed. The parameter is graphite-address, see doc: https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/UserGuideAdvanced#sending-metrics-to-graphite - added integration with AWS CloudWatch: Like for Graphite, you can also publish the same metrics to AWS CloudWatch for custom visualizations and mail or autoscaling alarms, if you have an AWS EC2 server instance with detailed monitoring in AWS CloudWatch. The parameter is cloudwatch-namespace, see doc: https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/UserGuideAdvanced#sending-metrics-to-aws-cloudwatch - added: In the list of threads, add an action to send an interrupt signal to a thread. The thread can test Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted() to stop itself. - added: PDF link in the threads page

    2017-07-19
    1.67.0.0 - added: Real User Monitoring (RUM). It allows to measure the experience from the end user perspective, by monitoring times in the browser for each html page until it is displayed and ready to be used (b85652a). - The Real User Monitoring works by injecting on the fly a Boomerang javascript at the end of html pages, just before the </body> end tag, which sends data back to the monitoring in your server. Then in the detailed monitoring report of http requests for html pages, times and percentages are displayed for Network, Server execution, DOM processing and Page rendering, to compare which ones contribute to a good or bad end user experience. The Real User Monitoring does not add a noticeable overhead on the server, but the javascript adds a simple http(s) call for each html page, which may add a small overhead on the client browser. - This Real User Monitoring is not enabled by default. To enable it, add the system property -Djavamelody.rum-enabled=true - added: In the database reports, 10 new reports for MySQL (with help from MySQL perf analyzer, Apache license): long running queries, statistics of tables, unused indexes, events waits summary, table access summary, index access summary, table lock wait summary, tables without PK, queries summary for the last 24h, memory summary (this last one works only in MySQL v5.7) and 1 new report for Oracle database: statistics of tables (62d86d1). - fix #617: Charts of http/sql stats can not be viewed after restarting the application (with help from goldyliang). - fix: If the monitoring of an invalid JNDI datasource fails, don't ignore the others (dca0b07). - added: Display the number of http sessions and sessions mean size before the list of sessions, when there are more than 20 (PR #629, thanks to Aleksandr Mashchenko).

    2017-06-01
    1.65.0.0 - fix compatibility with Java 9. (PR #609 for issue #556 , thanks to James Pether Sörling) - fix compatibility with Liferay 7 (649fd35 and PR #7 with help from Inácio Nery from Liferay) - improved: make easier the selection of the stack-trace text in the tooltips of the threads list (736cf0e) - added: pdf report in the detail page of a request. (28e2474) - added: links to view java source from errors and threads stack-traces. (e5263bf) - Source from the JDK and source from artifacts built by Maven and available in Maven central can be viewed. So if your server uses a JRE and not a JDK, source from the JDK are not available. And note that many artifacts available in Maven central were not built by Maven, for example Tomcat libraries, so sources of those artifacts can't be located. - added: if the javamelody parameter -Djavamelody.jmx-expose-enabled=true is set, then javamelody mbeans are available with aggregated statistics data about requests. (PR #591 thanks to Alexey Pushkin)
