Jetty Monitoring

Monitor Jetty performance seamlessly with the Atatus Java agent, offering real-time visibility into your Jetty HTTP server, servlet engine, and JVM performance. Gain deep insights into request handling, transaction flow, and system health to ensure an efficient and high-performing server stack.

Where Jetty production visibility breaks

Request Handling Ambiguity

Connector configuration and handler chains make it difficult to confirm how requests were actually processed under live traffic.

Fragmented Execution Context

Errors surface without complete thread, request, or execution state, forcing engineers to reconstruct runtime conditions manually.

Slow Fault Localization

Determining whether failures originate in handlers, servlets, or downstream services takes longer as execution paths deepen.

Hidden Thread Contention

Thread pool saturation and scheduling delays develop gradually, remaining invisible until latency and error rates spike.

Dependency Timing Gaps

Upstream and downstream dependencies introduce delays that are difficult to correlate with Jetty request handling behavior.

Noisy Failure Signals

Alerts lack execution depth, pushing teams to respond to symptoms rather than the underlying processing breakdown.

Unclear Scale Dynamics

Rising concurrency and connection counts alter runtime behavior in ways teams cannot clearly observe or predict.

Declining Operational Confidence

Repeated blind investigations reduce trust in production understanding, slowing decision-making during high-impact incidents.

Core Platform Capabilities

Gain Precise Metrics on Jetty Server Performance

Track how efficiently your Jetty servlet engine processes requests, uses threads, and manages sessions with real-time metrics so you can spot performance inefficiencies quickly.

Slow HTTP Request Handling Happens Silently

Without request processing metrics, it is difficult to see which endpoints or handlers add time to each HTTP request cycle.

High Thread Utilization Can Stall Throughput

Thread pools under sustained load can block new work, and visibility into thread usage shows when a Jetty instance approaches saturation.

Session Activity Affects Memory and Performance

Untracked session creation and expiration can increase memory usage or latency, and session metrics reveal how session behavior impacts performance.

Connector Load Spikes Reveal Bottlenecks

Monitoring queued connections and connector load highlights moments when the server struggles to keep up with incoming traffic.

GC Pauses Influence Throughput Consistency

Because Jetty runs on the JVM, garbage collection pauses can interrupt request processing, and correlating GC timing with request metrics shows when GC affects responsiveness.
