Hi,
· Have you been using Serviceability Agent related API's or tools
for any of your debugging or analysis purpose (e.g. core dump / heapdump ) ?
Yes. Exactly. I believe SA is great treasure!
· If the answer for the above question was yes, a very brief
explanation of what area's in your project have you been using ?
I'm one of OpenJDK technical support engineers in Japan. I used hard these tools
for troubleshooting many times.
We often use HSDB/CLHSDB to analyze core images.
SA tools are very important for us ! So we've contributed patches to
serviceability
group :-)

Hi Arvind,
May I ask what Serviceability Agent tools / API (which you want to
survey) means?
I think that it includes jdb, jinfo, jmap, jstack and Dynamic Attach.
If this is right, my answers are below.

For example of corner case, I wrote a reproducer of jvm networking bug
by using jdb.

In addition, Yasumasa and I developed HeapStats [1] which aims to improve
after-the-fact analysis by using JVM TI agent for collecting java
runtime information.
HeapStats uses socket to AttachListener to get thread dump.

· Do you believe the current capabilities of SA are helpful /
important ?
Exactly.
· Areas of improvement you would like to see / make in future ?
By jdk9, we will use jcmd / jhsdb instead of jstack / jmap. I think
it's a right way.
I want to contribute serviceability groups as possible as before.
Please share your responses as replies to this thread on the
serviceability-dev list or to me directly until 12th July 2016.
Thanks for your time in advance .
thanks & regards,
Arvind
