How to get ehcache 3.1 statistics

With Ehcache 3.1, I have a case to know the size of elements that are currently stored in the ehcache and also the number of hits and misses that the cache has so far. I think the 2.6 has the .getStatistics(), which does the similar things, However the same feature i am struggling to find with 3.1 version.

Appreciate your help!!

For Ehcache 3.5.2 as well as for any other JCache Provider you can use standard methods to enable statistics during cache configuration For instanse:

...
MutableConfiguration<Path, String> config = new MutableConfiguration<>();
config.setStatisticsEnabled(true);
...

Cache myCache = cacheManager.createCache(CACHE_NAME, config);

Then you could find register statics MXBean using the following method:

public static CacheStatisticsMXBean getCacheStatisticsMXBean(final String cacheName) {
        final MBeanServer mbeanServer = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
        ObjectName name = null;
        try {
            name = new ObjectName("*:type=CacheStatistics,*,Cache=" + cacheName);
        } catch (MalformedObjectNameException ex) {
            LOG.error("Someting wrong with ObjectName {}", ex);
        }
        Set<ObjectName> beans = mbeanServer.queryNames(name, null);
        if (beans.isEmpty()) {
            LOG.debug("Cache Statistics Bean not found");
            return null;
        }
        ObjectName[] objArray = beans.toArray(new ObjectName[beans.size()]);
        return JMX.newMBeanProxy(mbeanServer, objArray[0], CacheStatisticsMXBean.class);
    }

And if it is found enjoy your statistics:

CacheStatisticsMXBean CacheStatBean = getCacheStatisticsMXBean(cacheName);
            if (CacheStatBean != null) {
                LOG.debug("Cache hits #{} misses #{}", CacheStatBean.getCacheHits(), CacheStatBean.getCacheMisses());
                LOG.debug("Cache hits %{} misses %{}", CacheStatBean.getCacheHitPercentage(),
                        CacheStatBean.getCacheMissPercentage());
                LOG.debug("Cache gets #{}", CacheStatBean.getCacheGets());
                LOG.debug("Cache evictions #{}", CacheStatBean.getCacheEvictions());
                LOG.debug("Cache average get time {} milliseconds", CacheStatBean.getAverageGetTime());
            }

It's not yet documented but there is a cache statistics service that can give you the same statistics as in EhCache 2.X. I just tested it in the last version of EhCache (3.5).

Here are a sample of how to configure it on your cache manager :

    StatisticsService statisticsService = new DefaultStatisticsService();
    CacheManager cacheManager = CacheManagerBuilder.newCacheManagerBuilder()
            .using(statisticsService)
            .build();
    cacheManager.init();

Then later, after using the caches provided by this manager, you can ask the statistics service for the statistics. Here is a small sample :

CacheStatistics ehCacheStat = statisticsService.getCacheStatistics("myCache");
ehCacheStat.getCacheHits();

You can see all this in action in a unit test on the github of ehcache : https://github.com/ehcache/ehcache3/blob/master/integration-test/src/test/java/org/ehcache/integration/statistics/CacheCalculationTest.java

Edit. This was wrong:

For anyone else who was wondering, it looks a "public" statistics API will be exposed in version 3.2:

https://github.com/ehcache/ehcache3/issues/1286

See: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/ehcache-users/ehcache-core/N1wqy6Hug38

This is still true:

I'm looking forward to this :)

There is currently no exposed statistics API. It is on the roadmap but I cannot give you more specific information than that.

An alternative is to use the JCache integration which offers a set of standard statistics exposed as MBeans.
