SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Improve system reliability by continuously monitoring memory usage, thread pool health, request throughput, and key business indicators to detect leaks, bottlenecks, and cascading failures early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Memory metrics: heap usage, GC frequency, and leak detection to identify rising memory usage.
  • Thread pool metrics: queue lengths, active/idle counts, and back‑pressure signals to prevent starvation.
  • Throughput metrics: requests per second, error rates, and latency percentiles (p50, p95, p99) to quantify performance.
  • Business metrics: domain-specific indicators (e.g., job queue depths, processing rates) for operational health.

Quick Start

Configure the monitoring to collect metrics asynchronously every 60 seconds and export them to your observability platform.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor thread pool starvation and memory leaks in long-running services?

Runtime health monitoring identifies thread pool starvation and memory leaks by tracking queue lengths, active counts, and heap usage. It applies safe sampling to long-running services to detect bottlenecks early.

How do I track API latency percentiles and error rates for observability?

Track API latency percentiles and error rates by collecting throughput metrics including p50, p95, and p99 values. The monitoring imposes strict thresholds and includes timestamps to quantify performance for observability systems.

What is low-overhead runtime health monitoring and when do I need it?

Low-overhead runtime health monitoring is a safe sampling approach that asynchronously collects memory, thread, throughput, and custom business metrics. You need it to detect memory growth, throughput degradation, and downstream failure patterns early.

Can I export custom business metrics asynchronously to my observability platform?

Yes, you can export custom business metrics asynchronously to your observability platform. The monitoring collects domain-specific indicators like job queue depths and processing rates to report operational health.

Does runtime health monitoring work with back-pressure signals to prevent starvation?

Yes, runtime health monitoring works with back-pressure signals to prevent thread pool starvation. It tracks thread pool queue lengths, active counts, and idle counts to detect when your system approaches capacity limits.

What are the limitations of safe sampling for detecting memory growth?

Safe sampling collects metrics asynchronously every 60 seconds, meaning rapid memory spikes between intervals may be missed. Strict thresholds and percentile reporting help detect sustained memory growth rather than transient allocation bursts.
