Their stuff collects a ton of metrics in production with very low overhead.

Do you have any recommendations for products that do automatic performance monitoring and problem diagnostics? Sounds very interesting. Well, maybe I’m developing for too small sized installations.

I think you will find that most respectable companies do not use profilers on production servers and instead use Java performance management solutions that are optimized to automate most of the performance monitoring and problem diagnostics activities including such adhoc investigations as above. What is important to bear in mind is that in any reasonable sized installation developers do not have access to servers and that operations & application management support staff are looking to build a knowledge management solution around diagnostics images whilst handling incidents to ensure problem management is actually performed and in an efficient manner. regards, William “All this was done on a server running in production without using any additional profilers!”
