How to troubleshoot performance and crash issues faster with real-time profiling for Java

New Relic has introduced real-time Java profiling and a JVM cluster timeline view to improve troubleshooting and performance diagnostics for Java applications. These tools allow developers to gain insights into runtime characteristics and performance bottlenecks by utilizing contributions from the Java community, such as the Java Flight Recorder. The real-time profiling, which is suitable for production environments due to its low overhead, enables continuous monitoring of Java code, while the JVM cluster timeline view offers a comprehensive overview of the JVM's behavior over time. This facilitates quick detection of issues such as JVM shutdowns, restarts, and deployment impacts on the cluster. Additionally, features like flamegraphs and garbage collection graphs help identify code execution bottlenecks and inefficient resource allocation, while integration with New Relic Logs allows for deeper analysis by correlating profiling data with log information. These functionalities are part of New Relic One, which integrates real-time profiling with broader observability data, and further information is accessible through New Relic's documentation and community forums.
