The former JRockit Mission Control (JRMC) is now called Java Mission Control (JMC) and is a tools suite which includes tools to monitor, manage and profile your Java application without introducing the performance overhead normally associated with tools of this type.

The main and most important feature is the Flight Recorder. The Flight Recording feature work with events produced by the underlying JVM. This means that the overall profiling overhead for your applications stays at less than 2%.

This session will discuss how to use the Java Flight Recorder to analyze various aspects of Java programs running of the Oracle HotSpot JDK.

The presentation will:

* Explain how the Java Flight Recorder works.

* Show different ways to control the Java Flight Recorder.

* Show examples on how to analyze recordings in different ways.
