I am looking forward to develop something to analyze the JVM threads of an application running on a server, the requirement is as below: to access all the threads running in separate application Print the stack of threads Get to know the details of the events- logging the execution time alongside method details(executed in a particular thread) I have worked out on 1 and 2 but unsure how to proceed with point 3 without actually updating the existing application (adding aop). Is there any feature been provided by JVM to do so?

Exploring threads in Java

I am looking forward to develop something to analyze the JVM threads of an application running on a server, the requirement is as below:

to access all the threads running in separate application
Print the stack of threads
Get to know the details of the events- logging the execution time alongside method details(executed in a particular thread)

I have worked out on 1 and 2 but unsure how to proceed with point 3 without actually updating the existing application (adding aop).

Is there any feature been provided by JVM to do so?

You'll want to look into JPDA (Java Platform Debugger Architecture).
