Diagnosing issues in production environments can be a daunting task without the right tools. When problems arise, having access to comprehensive diagnostic information is critical for quick resolution. This is where Payara Server’s little known diagnostic tool comes into play, offering a powerful solution for collecting important server data on demand.
When troubleshooting production issues, developers and support teams often require a wide range of information to pinpoint the root cause. This may include:
Manually collecting this information can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially in complex, distributed environments. Payara’s diagnostic tool addresses this challenge by providing a simplified method for collecting critical server runtime data.
Payara’s diagnostic tool is designed to gather a comprehensive set of information, including:
This wealth of information provides a holistic view of the server’s state, enabling faster and more accurate problem diagnosis and remediation where necessary.
The diagnostic tool is accessible through the collect-diagnostics Asadmin CLI subcommand. Here’s what makes it particularly useful:
Let’s look at a practical example of using the diagnostic tool:
asadmin> collect-diagnostics --target deploymentGroup1 mydomain
This command collects diagnostic information from all instances in the deploymentGroup1 of the mydomain domain. The tool provides detailed output of its progress, ensuring you know exactly what data is being collected. You can type:
asadmin> collect-diagnostics --help
To view all available options of the subcommand.
The Payara diagnostic tool offers several key benefits for production support:
Having the right diagnostic information can literally save money and time in a production environment where often a lot can go wrong without notice. Payara Server’s diagnostic tool allows support teams and developers to quickly gather comprehensive server and runtime information, streamlining the troubleshooting process and reducing downtime. The diagnostic tool is built into Payara Platform Enterprise, our production-optimized, fully supported application server that you can trial for free.
