Custom events for GlassFish in Java Flight Recorder / Java Mission Control

Question

I've read that GlassFish provides custom events for Java Flight Recorder (JFR) / Java Mission Control (JMC).

I tried viewing in JMC 5.4 a JFR 5.3 recording obtained from GlassFish 4.1 running in Java 7u67. The recording was setup from the command line using jcmd. I did not use JMX or MBeans.

I saw the standard JFR events, but no custom events for GlassFish.

Are there actually custom JFR events for GlassFish? If so, what are they, how do I record them, and how do I view them?

Thanks.

Here's an article that mentions GlassFish JFR events:

Answer 1

If I’ve understood things correctly, this was something that the GlassFish team wanted to address in the commercial version of GlassFish. Then it was decided to not do a commercial version of GlassFish.

Note that there are JFR events for the WebLogic Server.
