Currently, visiting http://localhost/user/0 will return a 500 error:

curl http://localhost/user/0{{execute T3}}

{"timestamp":1550223186170,"status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","exception":"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException","message":"id < 1","path":"/user/0"}

But what are the specific parameters of the request, what is the exception stack?

View the parameters/exception of UserController

Execute in Arthas:

watch com.example.demo.arthas.user.UserController * '{params, throwExp}'{{execute T2}}

  1. The first argument is the class name, which supports wildcards.
  2. The second argument is the function name, which supports wildcards.

Visit curl http://localhost/user/0{{execute T3}} , the watch command will print the parameters and exception

$ watch com.example.demo.arthas.user.UserController * '{params, throwExp}'
Press Q or Ctrl+C to abort.
Affect(class-cnt:1 , method-cnt:2) cost in 53 ms.
ts=2019-02-15 01:35:25; [cost=0.996655ms] result=@ArrayList[
    @Object[][isEmpty=false;size=1],
    @IllegalArgumentException[java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: id < 1],
]

The user can see that the actual thrown exception is IllegalArgumentException.

The user can exit the watch command by typing Q{{execute T2}} or Ctrl+C.

If the user want to expand the result, can use the -x option:

watch com.example.demo.arthas.user.UserController * '{params, throwExp}' -x 2{{execute T2}}

The return value expression

In the above example, the third argument is the return value expression, which is actually an ognl expression that supports some built-in objects:

  • loader
  • clazz
  • method
  • target
  • params
  • returnObj
  • throwExp
  • isBefore
  • isThrow
  • isReturn

You can use these built-in objects in the expressions. For example, return an array:

watch com.example.demo.arthas.user.UserController * '{params[0], target, returnObj}'{{execute T2}}

The conditional expression

The watch command supports conditional expressions in the fourth argument, such as:

watch com.example.demo.arthas.user.UserController * returnObj 'params[0] > 100'{{execute T2}}

When visit https://HOST_SUBDOMAIN-80-KATACODA_HOST.environments.katacoda.com/user/1 , the watch command print nothing.

When visit https://HOST_SUBDOMAIN-80-KATACODA_HOST.environments.katacoda.com/user/101 , the watch command will print:

$ watch com.example.demo.arthas.user.UserController * returnObj 'params[0] > 100'
Press Q or Ctrl+C to abort.
Affect(class-cnt:1 , method-cnt:2) cost in 47 ms.
ts=2019-02-13 19:42:12; [cost=0.821443ms] result=@User[
    id=@Integer[101],
    name=@String[name101],
]

Capture when an exception occurs

The watch command supports the -e option, which means that only requests that throw an exception are caught:

watch com.example.demo.arthas.user.UserController * "{params[0],throwExp}" -e{{execute T2}}

Filter by cost

The watch command supports filtering by cost, such as:

watch com.example.demo.arthas.user.UserController * '{params, returnObj}' '#cost>200'{{execute T2}}
