| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Tuning GC | Detecting Garbage Collection problems, Garbage Collection tuning, and distributed caching Garbage Collection tuning. |
| Ehcache Monitor | The Ehcache Monitor is an add-on tool for Ehcache which provides enterprise-class monitoring and management capabilities for use in both development and production. It is intended to help understand and tune cache usage, detect errors, and provide an easy-to-use access point to integrate with production management systems. It also provides administrative functionality, such as the ability to forcefully remove items from caches. |
| JMX Management | As an alternative to the Ehcache Monitor, JMX creates a standard way of instrumenting classes and making them available to a management and monitoring infrastructure. |
| Logging | Ehcache uses the the slf4j logging facade, so you can plug in your own logging framework. This page also provides recommended logging levels. |
| Shutting Down Ehcache | If you are using persistent disk stores, or distributed caching, care should be taken when shutting down Ehcache. This page covers the ServletContextListener, the shutdown hook, and dirty shutdown. |
| RMI Cache Remote Debugger | The Remote Debugger can be used to debug replicated cache operations. When started with the same configuration as the cluster, it will join the cluster and then report cluster events for the cache of interest. By providing a window into the cluster, it can help to identify the cause of cluster problems. |
