Essential Metrics for Jetty Performance Monitoring

Monitor these key metrics to ensure your Jetty server performs efficiently and reliably, allowing you to detect potential issues before they affect your Java applications and overall server performance.

Thread Pool Utilization

Thread Pool Utilization

Track the usage and availability of Jetty’s thread pools. This includes metrics for active, idle, and blocked threads, which directly impact the server’s ability to handle incoming requests.

Jetty Connector Queued Requests

Jetty Connector Queued Requests

Monitor the number of requests queued in Jetty connectors. High queue lengths indicate a bottleneck in processing incoming connections, leading to slow response times.

Jetty HTTP Sessions

Jetty HTTP Sessions

Measure the creation and expiration of HTTP sessions. Monitoring session count and memory consumption help identify session leaks or misconfigurations in session handling.

Request Processing Time

Request Processing Time

Monitor the average and 95th percentile of request processing times. This gives insight into how long Jetty takes to process requests, helping to pinpoint slow endpoints or performance bottlenecks.

Garbage Collection Time for Jetty Threads

Garbage Collection Time for Jetty Threads

Track the amount of time spent in garbage collection by Jetty-related threads. High GC activity can lead to latency issues and performance degradation in the server.

Jetty Response Status Codes

Jetty Response Status Codes

Monitor the distribution of HTTP status codes (e.g., 200, 400, 500) returned by Jetty. Analyzing this can help identify application errors or spikes in server-side issues impacting user experience.

Why Jetty Monitoring Matters?

Jetty monitoring solves key issues by delivering real-time visibility into performance bottlenecks, such as slow request handling and high thread utilization. It enables proactive identification of memory leaks and session management challenges, ensuring optimal resource allocation and application responsiveness. This results in reduced downtime, improved user experiences, and enhanced overall system reliability.

Maximize Request Handling Efficiency

Jetty is designed for scalable handling of HTTP requests, but without proper monitoring, thread pools and connections can easily bottleneck. Monitoring Jetty’s thread utilization ensures that your application runs smoothly, minimizing request timeouts and maximizing throughput during traffic spikes.
