Interface ThreadMXBean

    public interface ThreadMXBean

The management interface for the thread system of the Java virtual machine.

A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation class of this interface. This instance implementing this interface is an MXBean that can be obtained by calling the `ManagementFactory.getThreadMXBean()` method or from the `platform `MBeanServer`` method.

The `ObjectName` for uniquely identifying the MXBean for the thread system within an MBeanServer is:

> ``java.lang:type=Threading``

#### Thread ID

Thread ID is a positive long value returned by calling the `Thread.getId()` method for a thread. The thread ID is unique during its lifetime. When a thread is terminated, this thread ID may be reused.

Some methods in this interface take a thread ID or an array of thread IDs as the input parameter and return per-thread information.

#### Thread CPU time

A Java virtual machine implementation may support measuring the CPU time for the current thread, for any thread, or for no threads.

The `isThreadCpuTimeSupported()` method can be used to determine if a Java virtual machine supports measuring of the CPU time for any thread. The `isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported()` method can be used to determine if a Java virtual machine supports measuring of the CPU time for the current thread. A Java virtual machine implementation that supports CPU time measurement for any thread will also support that for the current thread.

The CPU time provided by this interface has nanosecond precision but not necessarily nanosecond accuracy.

A Java virtual machine may disable CPU time measurement by default. The `isThreadCpuTimeEnabled()` and `setThreadCpuTimeEnabled(boolean)` methods can be used to test if CPU time measurement is enabled and to enable/disable this support respectively. Enabling thread CPU measurement could be expensive in some Java virtual machine implementations.

#### Thread Contention Monitoring

Some Java virtual machines may support thread contention monitoring. When thread contention monitoring is enabled, the accumulated elapsed time that the thread has blocked for synchronization or waited for notification will be collected and returned in the `ThreadInfo` object.

The `isThreadContentionMonitoringSupported()` method can be used to determine if a Java virtual machine supports thread contention monitoring. The thread contention monitoring is disabled by default. The `setThreadContentionMonitoringEnabled(boolean)` method can be used to enable thread contention monitoring.

#### Synchronization Information and Deadlock Detection

Some Java virtual machines may support monitoring of object monitor usage and ownable synchronizer usage. The `getThreadInfo(long[], boolean, boolean)` and `dumpAllThreads(boolean, boolean)` methods can be used to obtain the thread stack trace and synchronization information including which lock a thread is blocked to acquire or waiting on and which locks the thread currently owns.

The `ThreadMXBean` interface provides the `findMonitorDeadlockedThreads()` and `findDeadlockedThreads()` methods to find deadlocks in the running application.

### getThreadInfo

    ThreadInfo getThreadInfo(long id)

  Returns the thread info for a thread of the specified `id` with no stack trace. This method is equivalent to calling:

  > `getThreadInfo(id, 0);`

  This method returns a `ThreadInfo` object representing the thread information for the thread of the specified ID. The stack trace, locked monitors, and locked synchronizers in the returned `ThreadInfo` object will be empty. If a thread of the given ID is not alive or does not exist, this method will return `null`. A thread is alive if it has been started and has not yet died.

  MBeanServer access:
  The mapped type of `ThreadInfo` is `CompositeData` with attributes as specified in the `ThreadInfo.from` method.

  Parameters:
    `id` - the thread ID of the thread. Must be positive.
  Returns:
    a `ThreadInfo` object for the thread of the given ID with no stack trace, no locked monitor and no synchronizer info; `null` if the thread of the given ID is not alive or it does not exist.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `id <= 0`.
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("monitor").

### getThreadInfo

    ThreadInfo[] getThreadInfo(long[] ids)

  Returns the thread info for each thread whose ID is in the input array `ids` with no stack trace. This method is equivalent to calling:

  >        getThreadInfo(ids, 0);

  This method returns an array of the `ThreadInfo` objects. The stack trace, locked monitors, and locked synchronizers in each `ThreadInfo` object will be empty. If a thread of a given ID is not alive or does not exist, the corresponding element in the returned array will contain `null`. A thread is alive if it has been started and has not yet died.

  MBeanServer access:
  The mapped type of `ThreadInfo` is `CompositeData` with attributes as specified in the `ThreadInfo.from` method.

  Parameters:
    `ids` - an array of thread IDs.
  Returns:
    an array of the `ThreadInfo` objects, each containing information about a thread whose ID is in the corresponding element of the input array of IDs with no stack trace, no locked monitor and no synchronizer info.

    ThreadInfo getThreadInfo(long id,
                             int maxDepth)

  Returns a thread info for a thread of the specified `id`, with stack trace of a specified number of stack trace elements. The `maxDepth` parameter indicates the maximum number of `StackTraceElement` to be retrieved from the stack trace. If `maxDepth == Integer.MAX_VALUE`, the entire stack trace of the thread will be dumped. If `maxDepth == 0`, no stack trace of the thread will be dumped. This method does not obtain the locked monitors and locked synchronizers of the thread.

  When the Java virtual machine has no stack trace information about a thread or `maxDepth == 0`, the stack trace in the `ThreadInfo` object will be an empty array of `StackTraceElement`.

  If a thread of the given ID is not alive or does not exist, this method will return `null`. A thread is alive if it has been started and has not yet died.

  MBeanServer access:
  The mapped type of `ThreadInfo` is `CompositeData` with attributes as specified in the `ThreadInfo.from` method.

  Parameters:
    `id` - the thread ID of the thread. Must be positive.

  Returns:
    a `ThreadInfo` of the thread of the given ID with no locked monitor and synchronizer info. `null` if the thread of the given ID is not alive or it does not exist.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `id <= 0`.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `maxDepth is negative`.
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("monitor").

### getThreadInfo

    ThreadInfo[] getThreadInfo(long[] ids,
                               int maxDepth)

  Returns the thread info for each thread whose ID is in the input array `ids`, with stack trace of a specified number of stack trace elements.

If `maxDepth == Integer.MAX_VALUE`, the entire stack trace of the thread will be dumped. If `maxDepth == 0`, no stack trace of the thread will be dumped. This method does not obtain the locked monitors and locked synchronizers of the threads.

  When the Java virtual machine has no stack trace information about a thread or `maxDepth == 0`, the stack trace in the `ThreadInfo` object will be an empty array of `StackTraceElement`.

  This method returns an array of the `ThreadInfo` objects, each is the thread information about the thread with the same index as in the `ids` array. If a thread of the given ID is not alive or does not exist, `null` will be set in the corresponding element in the returned array. A thread is alive if it has been started and has not yet died.

  See Also:
    `isThreadContentionMonitoringSupported()`

### getCurrentThreadCpuTime

    long getCurrentThreadCpuTime()

  Returns the total CPU time for the current thread in nanoseconds. The returned value is of nanoseconds precision but not necessarily nanoseconds accuracy. If the implementation distinguishes between user mode time and system mode time, the returned CPU time is the amount of time that the current thread has executed in user mode or system mode.

  This is a convenient method for local management use and is equivalent to calling:

  >        getThreadCpuTime(Thread.currentThread().getId());

  Returns:
    the total CPU time for the current thread if CPU time measurement is enabled; `-1` otherwise.
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if the Java virtual machine does not support CPU time measurement for the current thread.
  See Also:
    `getCurrentThreadUserTime()`, `isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported()`, `isThreadCpuTimeEnabled()`, `setThreadCpuTimeEnabled(boolean)`

### getCurrentThreadUserTime

    long getCurrentThreadUserTime()

  Returns the CPU time that the current thread has executed in user mode in nanoseconds. The returned value is of nanoseconds precision but not necessarily nanoseconds accuracy.

  This is a convenient method for local management use and is equivalent to calling:

  >        getThreadUserTime(Thread.currentThread().getId());

  Returns:
    the user-level CPU time for the current thread if CPU time measurement is enabled; `-1` otherwise.
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if the Java virtual machine does not support CPU time measurement for the current thread.

### getThreadCpuTime

    long getThreadCpuTime(long id)

  Returns the total CPU time for a thread of the specified ID in nanoseconds. The returned value is of nanoseconds precision but not necessarily nanoseconds accuracy. If the implementation distinguishes between user mode time and system mode time, the returned CPU time is the amount of time that the thread has executed in user mode or system mode.

  If the thread of the specified ID is not alive or does not exist, this method returns `-1`. If CPU time measurement is disabled, this method returns `-1`. A thread is alive if it has been started and has not yet died.

  If CPU time measurement is enabled after the thread has started, the Java virtual machine implementation may choose any time up to and including the time that the capability is enabled as the point where CPU time measurement starts.

  Parameters:
    `id` - the thread ID of a thread
  Returns:
    the total CPU time for a thread of the specified ID if the thread of the specified ID exists, the thread is alive, and CPU time measurement is enabled; `-1` otherwise.

  See Also:
    `isThreadCpuTimeSupported()`, `isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported()`

### findMonitorDeadlockedThreads

    long[] findMonitorDeadlockedThreads()

  Finds cycles of threads that are in deadlock waiting to acquire object monitors. That is, threads that are blocked waiting to enter a synchronization block or waiting to reenter a synchronization block after an `Object.wait` call, where each thread owns one monitor while trying to obtain another monitor already held by another thread in a cycle.

  More formally, a thread is monitor deadlocked if it is part of a cycle in the relation "is waiting for an object monitor owned by". In the simplest case, thread A is blocked waiting for a monitor owned by thread B, and thread B is blocked waiting for a monitor owned by thread A.

  This method is designed for troubleshooting use, but not for synchronization control. It might be an expensive operation.

  This method finds deadlocks involving only object monitors. To find deadlocks involving both object monitors and ownable synchronizers, the `findDeadlockedThreads` method should be used.

  Returns:
    an array of IDs of the threads that are monitor deadlocked, if any; `null` otherwise.
  Throws:
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("monitor").
  See Also:
    `findDeadlockedThreads()`

### resetPeakThreadCount

    void resetPeakThreadCount()

  Resets the peak thread count to the current number of live threads.

  Throws:
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("control").
  See Also:
    `getPeakThreadCount()`, `getThreadCount()`

### findDeadlockedThreads

    long[] findDeadlockedThreads()

  Finds cycles of threads that are in deadlock waiting to acquire object monitors or ownable synchronizers. Threads are deadlocked in a cycle waiting for a lock of these two types if each thread owns one lock while trying to acquire another lock already held by another thread in the cycle.

  This method is designed for troubleshooting use, but not for synchronization control. It might be an expensive operation.

  Returns:
    an array of IDs of the threads that are deadlocked waiting for object monitors or ownable synchronizers, if any; `null` otherwise.
  Throws:
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("monitor").
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if the Java virtual machine does not support monitoriing of ownable synchronizer usage.
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `isSynchronizerUsageSupported()`, `findMonitorDeadlockedThreads()`

### isObjectMonitorUsageSupported

    boolean isObjectMonitorUsageSupported()

  Tests if the Java virtual machine supports monitoring of object monitor usage.

  Returns:
    `true` if the Java virtual machine supports monitoring of object monitor usage; `false` otherwise.
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `dumpAllThreads(boolean, boolean)`

### isSynchronizerUsageSupported

    boolean isSynchronizerUsageSupported()

  Tests if the Java virtual machine supports monitoring of ownable synchronizer usage.

  Returns:
    `true` if the Java virtual machine supports monitoring of ownable synchronizer usage; `false` otherwise.
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `dumpAllThreads(boolean, boolean)`

### getThreadInfo

    ThreadInfo[] getThreadInfo(long[] ids,
                               boolean lockedMonitors,
                               boolean lockedSynchronizers)

  Returns the thread info for each thread whose ID is in the input array `ids`, with stack trace and synchronization information.

  This method obtains a snapshot of the thread information for each thread including:

  - the entire stack trace,
  - the object monitors currently locked by the thread if `lockedMonitors` is `true`, and
  - the ownable synchronizers currently locked by the thread if `lockedSynchronizers` is `true`.

  This method returns an array of the `ThreadInfo` objects, each is the thread information about the thread with the same index as in the `ids` array. If a thread of the given ID is not alive or does not exist, `null` will be set in the corresponding element in the returned array. A thread is alive if it has been started and has not yet died.

  If a thread does not lock any object monitor or `lockedMonitors` is `false`, the returned `ThreadInfo` object will have an empty `MonitorInfo` array. Similarly, if a thread does not lock any synchronizer or `lockedSynchronizers` is `false`, the returned `ThreadInfo` object will have an empty `LockInfo` array.

  When both `lockedMonitors` and `lockedSynchronizers` parameters are `false`, it is equivalent to calling:

  >          getThreadInfo(ids, Integer.MAX_VALUE)

  This method is designed for troubleshooting use, but not for synchronization control. It might be an expensive operation.

  MBeanServer access:
  The mapped type of `ThreadInfo` is `CompositeData` with attributes as specified in the `ThreadInfo.from` method.

  Parameters:
    `ids` - an array of thread IDs.
    `lockedMonitors` - if `true`, retrieves all locked monitors.
    `lockedSynchronizers` - if `true`, retrieves all locked ownable synchronizers.
  Returns:
    an array of the `ThreadInfo` objects, each containing information about a thread whose ID is in the corresponding element of the input array of IDs.
  Throws:
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("monitor").
    `UnsupportedOperationException` -
    - if `lockedMonitors` is `true` but the Java virtual machine does not support monitoring of object monitor usage; or
    - if `lockedSynchronizers` is `true` but the Java virtual machine does not support monitoring of ownable synchronizer usage.
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `isObjectMonitorUsageSupported()`, `isSynchronizerUsageSupported()`

### dumpAllThreads

    ThreadInfo[] dumpAllThreads(boolean lockedMonitors,
                                boolean lockedSynchronizers)

  Returns the thread info for all live threads with stack trace and synchronization information. Some threads included in the returned array may have been terminated when this method returns.

  This method returns an array of `ThreadInfo` objects as specified in the `getThreadInfo(long[], boolean, boolean)` method.

  Parameters:
    `lockedMonitors` - if `true`, dump all locked monitors.
    `lockedSynchronizers` - if `true`, dump all locked ownable synchronizers.
  Returns:
    an array of `ThreadInfo` for all live threads.
  Throws:
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("monitor").
    `UnsupportedOperationException` -
    - if `lockedMonitors` is `true` but the Java virtual machine does not support monitoring of object monitor usage; or
    - if `lockedSynchronizers` is `true` but the Java virtual machine does not support monitoring of ownable synchronizer usage.
