<b>jvmtop</b> is a lightweight console application to monitor all accessible, running jvms on a machine.<br> In a top-like manner, it displays <a href='https://github.com/patric-r/jvmtop/blob/master/doc/ExampleOutput.md'>JVM internal metrics</a> (e.g. memory information) of running java processes.<br> <br> Jvmtop does also include a <a href='https://github.com/patric-r/jvmtop/blob/master/doc/ConsoleProfiler.md'>CPU console profiler</a>.<br> <br> It's tested with different releases of Oracle JDK, IBM JDK and OpenJDK on Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and Windows hosts.<br> Jvmtop requires a JDK - a JRE will not suffice.<br> <br> Please note that it's currently in an alpha state -<br> if you experience an issue or need further help, please <a href='https://github.com/patric-r/jvmtop/issues'>let us know</a>.<br> <br> Jvmtop is open-source. Checkout the <a href='https://github.com/patric-r/jvmtop'>source code</a>. Patches are very welcome!<br> <br> Also have a look at the <a href='https://github.com/patric-r/jvmtop/blob/master/doc/Documentation.md'>documentation</a> or at a <a href='https://github.com/patric-r/jvmtop/blob/master/doc/ExampleOutput.md'>captured live-example</a>.<br>
