perfino Quick Pointers


Starting the perfino server

On Windows and Mac OS X, the installer starts the service automatically, you don't have to do anything.

On Linux and Unix, you have to integrate /etc/init.d/perfino_service into the start sequence. Alternatively, you can start bin/perfino_console for a quick evaluation.

Changing the configuration

Most of the configuration is available in the web interface. Some server properties such as the the web server port cannot be changed while running and are configured with the configure executable in this directory. You can also edit the config file perfino.properties directory.

Monitoring JVMs

In the web interface, click on the "Add VMs" button. The wizard will provide instructions as well as the files for the monitoring agent.

Using the API to define transactions in your code

While you can configure transactions for POJOs in the web interface, it's more convenient to use the "devops" transaction annotations. The JAR file with all the annotations is located under api/perfino_api.jar
