Admin API

The Admin API provides a way to administer and monitor all of GigaSpaces services and components using a simple API. The API provides information and the ability to operate on the currently running Agent, Manager, Container, Lookup Service, Processing Unit and Spaces.

Dependencies

In order to use this feature, include the $GS_HOME/lib/platform/service-grid/xap-admin.jar file on your classpath or use maven dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.gigaspaces</groupId>
    <artifactId>xap-admin</artifactId>
    <version>15.0.0</version>
</dependency>

For more information on dependencies, see Maven Artifacts.

Examples

The following code examples show how the Admin API can be used to display information on the currently deployed services/components:

public void gsa() {
    Admin admin = new AdminFactory().addGroup("myGroup").createAdmin();
    // wait till things get discovered (you can also use specific waitFor)
    for (GridServiceAgent gsa : admin.getGridServiceAgents()) {
        System.out.println("GSA [" + gsa.getUid()
                + "] running on Machine ["
                + gsa.getMachine().getHostAddress());
        for (AgentProcessDetails processDetails : gsa.getProcessesDetails()) {
            System.out.println("   -> Process ["

Admin Construction

The Admin API uses the AdminFactory in order to create Admin instances. After you finish working with the Admin, its Admin#close() method should be called.

The Admin API discovers all the advertised services from the Lookup Service. Use the AdminFactory#addGroup to define which lookup groups. The lookup locators can also be used for non-multicast enabled environments using AdminFactory#addLocator. If the services started are secured, the username and password can be set on the Admin API as well.

Discovery Process

When the Admin is created, it starts to receive discovery events from all the advertised services/components within its lookup groups and lookup locators. The events occur asynchronously and the data model within the Admin API gets initialized in the background with services coming and going.

This means that just creating the Admin and calling a specific "getter" for a data structure might not return what is currently deployed, and you should wait until the structures are filled. Some components have a waitFor method that allows waiting for a specific number of services to be up. When navigating the data model, the Admin API provides its most up-to-date state of the system it is monitoring.

The Admin functionality is designed to interact with a service grid deployment. For StandaloneProcessingUnitContainer and IntegratedProcessingUnitContainer, components such as GridServiceAgent and GridServiceManager are not started by default, therefore portions of the Admin functionality aren't available.

Accessing the Domain Model

There are two ways to use the Admin API to access information:

  • Call specific "getters" for the data and iterate over them (as shown in the example at the top of the page).
  • Register for specific events using the Admin API. Events are handled by different components of the Admin API in similar manner. We will take one of them and use it as a reference example.

If we want to register, for example, for Grid Service Container additions, we can use the following code (removing the event listener is not shown here for clarity):

admin.getGridServiceContainers().getGridServiceContainerAdded().add(new GridServiceContainerAddedEventListener() {
    public void gridServiceContainerAdded(GridServiceContainer gridServiceContainer) {
        // do something here
    }
});

Removals are done in similar manner:

admin.getGridServiceContainers().getGridServiceContainerRemoved().add(new GridServiceContainerRemovedEventListener() {
    public void gridServiceContainerRemoved(GridServiceContainer gridServiceContainer) {
        // do something here
    }
});

Since both removals and additions are common events that we would like to register for at the same time, we can use:

admin.getGridServiceContainers().addLifecycleListener(new GridServiceContainerLifecycleEventListener() {
    public void gridServiceContainerAdded(GridServiceContainer gridServiceContainer) {
        // do something here
    }

    public void gridServiceContainerRemoved(GridServiceContainer gridServiceContainer) {
        // do something here
    }
});

All other data structures use similar APIs to register for events. Some might have specific events that go beyond additions and removals, but they still use the same model. For example, you can register for Space mode change events across all currently running Space topologies and Space instances:

admin.getSpaces().getSpaceModeChanged().add(new SpaceModeChangedEventListener() {
    public void spaceModeChanged(SpaceModeChangedEvent event) {
        System.out.println("Space [" + event.getSpaceInstance().getSpace().getName() + "] " +
        "Instance [" + event.getSpaceInstance().getInstanceId() + "/" +
                event.getSpaceInstance().getBackupId() + "] " +
        "changed mode from [" + event.getPreviousMode() + "] to [" + event.getNewMode() + "]");
    }
});

Of course, you can register the same listener on a specific Space topology, or event on a specific SpaceInstance.

Last, the Admin interface provides a one-stop method called addEventListener that accepts an AdminListener. Most event listeners implement this interface. You can create a class that implements several chosen listener interfaces, call the addEventListener method, and they will automatically be added to their respective components. For example, if our listener implements GridServiceContainerAddedEventListener and GridServiceManagerAddedEventListener, the listener will automatically be added to the GridServiceManagers and GridServiceContainers.

Details and Statistics

  • Some components in the Admin API can provide statistics. For example, a SpaceInstance can provide statistics on how many times the read API was called on it. Statistics change over time, and in order to get them either the "getter" for the Statistics can be used, or a statistics listener can be registered for statistics change events.

  • Details of a specific component provide information that doesn't change over time, but can be used to provide more information regarding the component, or to compute statistics. For example, the VirtualMachine provides in its details the minimum and maximum heap memory size, while the VirtualMachine statistics provide the currently used heap memory size. The detailed information is used to provide the percentage used in the Virtual Machine statistics.

  • The Admin API also provide aggregated details and statistics. For example, the Space provides SpaceStatistics allowing to get the aggregated statistics of all the different Space Instances that belong to it.

  • Each component in the Admin API that can provide statistics (either direct or aggregated) implements the StatisticsMonitor interface. The statistics monitor allows starting to monitor statistics and stop to monitor statistics. Monitoring for statistics is required if you want to register for statistics change events. The interval at which statistics are polled is controlled using the statistics interval.

  • The statistics interval is an important event when the Admin API isn't actively polling for statistics. Each call to a statistics "getter" only performs a remote call to the component if the last statistics fetch happened before the statistics interval. This behavior allows for users of the Admin API to not worry about "hammering" different components for statistics, because the Admin API ensures that statistics calls are cached internally for the statistics interval period.

  • A SpaceInstance implements the StatisticsMonitor interface. Calling startMonitor and stopMonitor on it causes monitoring of statistics to be enabled or disabled.

  • Space also implements the StatisticsMonitor interface. Calling startMonitor on it will cause it to start monitoring all its SpaceInstance s. If a SpaceInstance is discovered after the the call to startMonitor occurred, it starts monitoring itself automatically. This means that if a SpaceInstanceStatisticsChangedEventListener was registered on the Space, it automatically starts getting Space instance statistics change events for the newly discovered SpaceInstance.

  • Spaces also implements the StatisticsMonitor interface. Calling startMonitor on it will cause it to start monitoring all the Space s it has (and as a result, also SpaceInstance s, see the paragraph above). A SpaceInstanceStatisticsChangedEventListener can also be registered on the Spaces level.

  • The above Space level statistics behavior works in much the way with other components. For example, for VirutalMachine and VirtualMachines, Transport and Transports, OperatingSystem and OperatingSystems.

  • The Admin interface also implements the StatisticsMonitor interface. Calling startMonitor on it will cause all holders to start monitoring. These include Spaces, VirtualMachines, Transports, and OperatingSystems.

Space Runtime Statistics

The Space maintains statistics information about all the data types (for example, Space class types) it stores, and the amount of Space objects stored in memory for each data type. The following example shows how to retrieve this data. This approach eliminates the need to use the GigaSpace.Count(), which is relatively expensive, with Spaces that store large number of objects.

If you are monitoring the Space class instance count with a monitoring tool, you should use the approach below rather calling the GigaSpace.Count().

public static void printAllClassInstanceCountForAllPartitions (Admin admin , String spaceName) throws Exception
{
    Space space = admin.getSpaces().waitFor(spaceName, 10 , TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    SpacePartition spacePartitions[] = space.getPartitions();
    System.out.println(spaceName + " have " +spacePartitions.length + " Partitions , Total " + space.getTotalNumberOfInstances() + " Instances");
    Arrays.sort(spacePartitions, new SpacePartitionsComperator ());

    for (int i = 0; i < spacePartitions.length; i++) {
        SpacePartition partition = spacePartitions [i];
        while (partition.getPrimary()==null){
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        }

        SpaceInstance primaryInstance = partition.getPrimary();
        System.out.println ("Partition " + partition.getPartitionId() + " Primary:");
        Map<String, Integer> classInstanceCountsPrimary = primaryInstance.getRuntimeDetails().getCountPerClassName();
        Iterator<String> keys = classInstanceCountsPrimary.keySet().iterator();
        while (keys.hasNext()){
            String className = keys.next();
            System.out.println ("Class:" + className +" Instance count:" + classInstanceCountsPrimary.get(className));
        }

        SpaceInstance backupInstance = partition.getBackup();
        System.out.println ("Partition " + partition.getPartitionId() + " Backup:");

        Map<String, Integer> classInstanceCountsBackup = backupInstance .getRuntimeDetails().getCountPerClassName();
        keys = classInstanceCountsPrimary.keySet().iterator();
        while (keys.hasNext()){
            String className = keys.next();
            System.out.println ("Class:" + className +" Instance count:" + classInstanceCountsBackup.get(className));
        }
    }
}

static class SpacePartitionsComperator implements Comparator<SpacePartition>{
    public int compare(SpacePartition o1,SpacePartition o2) {
        if (o2.getPartitionId() > o1.getPartitionId())
            return 0;
        else
            return 1;
    }
}

MemoryXtend Statistics

If you have a system that utilizes MemoryXtend, you can monitor the performance of the off-heap storage and the external disk storage. For a list of available blobstore operation statistics, see the Predefined Metrics page in the Administration guide.

The following example (relevant for the disk storage driver) demonstrates how to retrieve RocksDB statistics using the Admin API.


SpaceInstance spaceInstance =
    admin.getSpaces().getSpaceByName( "MySpace" ).getInstances()[0];
SpaceInstanceStatistics statistics = spaceInstance.getStatistics();
if( statistics != null && statistics.getBlobStoreStatistics() != null ) {
    BlobStoreStatistics blobStoreStatistics = statistics.getBlobStoreStatistics();
   Collection<BlobStoreStorageStatistics> storageStatistics =
                            blobStoreStatistics.getStorageStatistics();
    if( storageStatistics != null && !storageStatistics.isEmpty() ) {
        BlobStoreStorageStatistics blobStoreStorageStatistics =
                                    storageStatistics.iterator().next();
if (blobStoreStorageStatistics instanceof RocksDBBlobStoreStatistics) {
    RocksDBBlobStoreStatistics rocksDBStatistics =
    (RocksDBBlobStoreStatistics) blobStoreStorageStatistics;
    long memtableHit = rocksDBStatistics.getMemtableHit();
    long memtableMiss = rocksDBStatistics.getMemtableMiss();
    long getHitL0 = rocksDBStatistics.getGetHitL0();
    long getHitL1 = rocksDBStatistics.getGetHitL1();
    long getHitL2AndUp = rocksDBStatistics.getHitL2AndUp();
    long numberKeysWritten = rocksDBStatistics.getNumberKeysWritten();
    long numberKeysRead = rocksDBStatistics.getNumberKeysRead();
    long numberKeysUpdated = rocksDBStatistics.getNumberKeysUpdated();
    long bytesWritten = rocksDBStatistics.getBytesWritten();
    long bytesRead = rocksDBStatistics.getBytesRead();
    long iterBytesRead = rocksDBStatistics.getIterBytesRead();
    long numberMultigetCalls =      rocksDBStatistics.getNumberMultigetCalls();
    long numberMultigetKeysRead =       rocksDBStatistics.getNumberMultigetKeysRead();
    long numberMultigetBytesRead =  rocksDBStatistics.getNumberMultigetBytesRead();
      }
}

Monitoring the Mirror Service

You can monitor various aspects of the mirror service using the Admin API.

The mirror statistics are available using the SpaceInstance statistics. They can be used to monitor the state of the mirror Space and whether or not it is functioning properly. These statistics are relevant only for a mirror Space instance, and are not available for ordinary Space instances. The code below traverses all the Space instances and finds the mirror Space by retrieving the mirror statistics object (if it isn't null, this means it is a mirror Space). It then prints out some of the available statistics.

for (Space space : admin.getSpaces()) {
    System.out.println("Space [" + space.getUid() + "] numberOfInstances [" +
    space.getNumberOfInstances() + "] numberOfbackups [" +
    space.getNumberOfBackups() + "]");

    for (SpaceInstance spaceInstance : space) {
        System.out.println("   -> INSTANCE [" + spaceInstance.getUid() + "] instanceId [" + spaceInstance.getInstanceId() +
        "] backupId [" + spaceInstance.getBackupId() + "] Mode [" + spaceInstance.getMode() + "]");
        System.out.println("         -> Host: " + spaceInstance.getMachine().getHostAddress());

         MirrorStatistics mirrorStat = spaceInstance.getStatistics().getMirrorStatistics();
         // check if this instance is mirror
         if(mirrorStat != null){
            System.out.println("Mirror Stats:");
            System.out.println("total operation count:" + mirrorStat.getOperationCount());
            System.out.println("successful operation count:" + mirrorStat.getSuccessfulOperationCount());
            System.out.println("failed operation count:" + mirrorStat.getFailedOperationCount());
         }
    }
}

For more information, refer to the API documentation on MirrorStatistics.

PU Status Changed Events

You can receive notifications about the deployment status of a Processing Unit. An event listener can be attached to the Admin API that delivers events describing the current and previous DeploymentStatus of a Processing Unit. Here is an example:

public class ProcessingUnitStatusChanged {

    public void processingUnitStatusChanged() {
        Admin admin = new AdminFactory().addGroup("myGroup").createAdmin();
        MyProcessingUnitStatusChangedEventListener listener = new MyProcessingUnitStatusChangedEventListener();
        admin.addEventListener(listener);
    }
}
public class MyProcessingUnitStatusChangedEventListener implements
        ProcessingUnitStatusChangedEventListener {

    @Override
    public void processingUnitStatusChanged(
            ProcessingUnitStatusChangedEvent event) {

        DeploymentStatus newStatus = event.getNewStatus();
        if (newStatus.equals(DeploymentStatus.INTACT))
        {
            // All has settled down
        }
    }
}

Monitoring Processing Unit Health

For monitoring purposes, the Processing Unit can be queried to show its deployment status, number of actual instances vs. planned, and more details per Processing Unit instance. The planned vs. actual represents the current state, and querying this API returns an updated result each time a scheduled update is done by the underlying Admin. A plan changes on increments, decrements, restarts and relocation of instances.

    ProcessingUnit processingUnit = admin.getProcessingUnits().getProcessingUnit("myProceessingUnitName");
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.put("Name", processingUnit.getName());
    properties.put("Status", processingUnit.getStatus());
    properties.put("Type", processingUnit.getType());
    properties.put("Actual/Planned", processingUnit.getInstances().length + "/" + processingUnit.getPlannedNumberOfInstances());
    properties.put("SLA", processingUnit.getNumberOfInstances() + (processingUnit.getNumberOfBackups()>0 ? "," + processingUnit.getNumberOfBackups(): ""));

Service Monitors

The Admin API allows you to monitor GigaSpaces services. The information is available through the ProcessingUnitInstanceStatistics.

Service Description
WebRequestsServiceMonitors Statistics monitor information for JEE servlet requests.
RemotingServiceMonitors Generic remoting service details.
EventContainerServiceMonitors A generic event container service monitors.
PollingEventContainerServiceMonitors Polling container service monitors.
NotifyEventContainerServiceMonitors Notify container service monitors.
AsyncPollingEventContainerServiceMonitors Async Polling container service monitors.

Here is an example of how you can obtain this information:

public void serviceMonitors() {
    Admin admin = new AdminFactory().createAdmin();

    for (ProcessingUnit processingUnit : admin.getProcessingUnits()) {
        for (ProcessingUnitInstance processingUnitInstance : processingUnit.getInstances()) {
            ProcessingUnitInstanceStatistics processingUnitInstanceStatistics = processingUnitInstance.getStatistics();
            if (processingUnitInstanceStatistics != null) {
                WebRequestsServiceMonitors webRequestsServiceMonitors = processingUnitInstanceStatistics.getWebRequests();
                RemotingServiceMonitors remoting = processingUnitInstanceStatistics.getRemoting();
                Map<String, EventContainerServiceMonitors> eventContainers = processingUnitInstanceStatistics.getEventContainers();
                Map<String, PollingEventContainerServiceMonitors> pollingEventContainers = processingUnitInstanceStatistics.getPollingEventContainers();
                Map<String, NotifyEventContainerServiceMonitors> notifyEventContainers = processingUnitInstanceStatistics.getNotifyEventContainers();
                Map<String, AsyncPollingEventContainerServiceMonitors> asyncPollingEventContainers = processingUnitInstanceStatistics.getAsyncPollingEventContainers();
            }
        }
    }
}

You can also attach a ProcessingUnitInstanceStatisticsChangedEventListener to Processing Units that will fire by default every 5 seconds.

public void serviceMonitorsEventListeners() {
    Admin admin = new AdminFactory().createAdmin();

    admin.getProcessingUnits()
        .getProcessingUnit("myProcessingUnit")
        .getProcessingUnitInstanceStatisticsChanged()
        .add(new ProcessingUnitInstanceStatisticsChangedEventListener() {

        @Override
        public void processingUnitInstanceStatisticsChanged(ProcessingUnitInstanceStatisticsChangedEvent event) {
            ProcessingUnitInstanceStatistics statistics = event.getStatistics();
            Map<String, EventContainerServiceMonitors> eventContainers = statistics.getEventContainers();
            WebRequestsServiceMonitors webRequests = statistics.getWebRequests();
            // .....
        }
    });
}

By default, the listener fires every 5 seconds. You can change all the intervals at once as follows. This will set the timer on the following objects: Spaces,VirtualMachines,Transports,OperatingSystems, and ProcessingUnits.

public void changeServiceMonitorsTimer() {
    Admin admin = new AdminFactory().createAdmin();
    admin. setStatisticsInterval(30l, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

You can also change the intervals individually:

Spaces.setStatisticsInterval(30l, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
VirtualMachines.setStatisticsInterval(10l, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
Transports.setStatisticsInterval(10l, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
OperatingSystems.setStatisticsInterval(3l, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
ProcessingUnits.setStatisticsInterval(30l, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
