JVM is not reachable with jstat and jstack
要約
Generating Jira thread dumps using "jstack" returns error "Unable to open socket file"
環境
Jira Software/Service Management running on Linux hosts with Java versions 8 or 11
診断
Trying to generate Jira thread dumps using jstack, the command returns the following error:
$ sudo -u jira /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.2+7/bin/jstack 1455
1455: Unable to open socket file /proc/1455/root/tmp/.java_pid1455: target process 1455 doesn't respond within 10500ms or HotSpot VM not loadedThe path "/proc/<PID>/root" is a symbolic link to the root path ( / )
ls -l /proc/<PID>/root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jira jira 0 dez 3 18:29 /proc/<PID>/root -> /So the path "/proc/<PID>/root/tmp/" is pointing to "/tmp" to store temporary files for the processes.
Checking the "/tmp", the Java socket file was not present:
ls -l /tmp/.java_pid<PID>
ls: cannot access '/tmp/.java_pid<PID>': No such file or directory 原因
There are some external factors that can cause the socket file to be deleted from "/tmp":
- External routine tools to clean files older than X days;
- Linux
"systemd-tmpfiles-clean"removing Java Hooks
(More information can be found in Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1704608 but this is not limited to RedHat) - Manual removal of the files from
"/tmp"
ソリューション
1 - If any external tool is being used to delete old files from "/tmp", configure the tool to ignore the patterns below:
/tmp/hsperfdata_*
/tmp/.java_pid*2 - If it is found to be the Linux Systemd Cleanup task deleting the files, do the following:
Edit the file "/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf" and add the 2 lines below:
(The "x" in both lines are to indicate that the patterns must be excluded from the cleanup task)
# Exclude java-hooks
x /tmp/hsperfdata_*
x /tmp/.java_pid*回避策
If the socket file was deleted and for a troubleshooting situation it is necessary to generate thread dumps before restarting the application, the command below can be used to send thread dumps to "Catalina.out" log.
