Linux系统监控:pidstat

简介：

Linux上可以使用sysstat包（可能需要自己安装）中的pidstat监控JAVA应用的让步式上下文切换和抢占式上下文切换。让步式上下文切换是指执行线程主动释放CPU，抢占式上下文切换是指线程因为分配的时间片用尽而被迫放弃CPU或被其他优先级更高的线程所抢占。

应用中挂起和唤醒线程会导致操作系统的让步式上下文切换，因此锁竞争严重的应用会表现出大量的让步式上下文切换，而让步式上下文切换耗费的时钟周期代价非常高。

抢占式上下文切换率高表明预备运行的线程数多于可用的虚拟处理器，所以此时用vmstat通常能看到很长的运行队列、很高的CPU使用率。

 

pidstat - Report statistics for Linux tasks. 

Linux任务的统计数据。

 

SYNOPSIS

pidstat [ -d ] [ -h ] [ -I ] [ -l ] [ -R ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -t ] [ -U [ username ] ] [ -u ] [ -V ] [ -v ] [ -w ] [ -C comm ] [ -G process_name ] [ -p { pid [,...] | SELF | ALL } ] [ -T { TASK | CHILD | ALL } ] [ interval [ count ] ]

 

DESCRIPTION

pidstat命令用来监控Linux内核管理的各个任务。它将使用-p选项指定的每个任务的活动情况输出到标准输出，可以使用-p All输出Linux内核管理的所有任务。不使用-p等同于-p ALL，但是只有活动的任务会出现在报告中。

pidstat命令也可以用来监控所选择任务的子进程。参考-T选项了解更多。
