Language management interface
Eclipse OpenJ9™ provides MXBean extensions to the standard java.lang.management API, which can be used to monitor and manage the Java™ virtual machine.
These extensions provide access to information about the state of the OpenJ9 VM and the environment in which it is running. The following
tables list the MXBeans by package and describe the monitoring or management capabilities.
Package: com.ibm.lang.management
| MXBean | Description |
|---|---|
GarbageCollectorMXBean |
Discovers Garbage Collection (GC) operations (collection times, compactions, heap memory usage, and freed memory). |
JvmCpuMonitorMXBean |
Discovers CPU consumption by category (GC, JIT, or other threads). |
MemoryMXBean |
Discovers memory usage (minimum and maximum heap sizes, and shared classes cache sizes). |
MemoryPoolMXBean |
Discovers memory pool usage for specific GC policies. |
OperatingSystemMXBean |
Discovers information about the operating system (memory, CPU capacity/utilization). |
RuntimeMXBean |

ThreadMXBean |
Discovers information about native thread IDs. |
UnixOperatingSystemMXBean |
Discovers information for Unix operating systems (memory, file descriptors, processors, processor usage, and hardware) |
Package: com.ibm.virtualization.management
| MXBean | Description |
|---|---|
GuestOSMXBean |
Discovers CPU and memory statistics of a virtual machine or logical partition as seen by the Hypervisor. |
HypervisorMXBean |
Discovers whether the operating system is running on a hypervisor and provides information about the hypervisor. |
Package: openj9.lang.management
| MXBean | Description |
