+    The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects.
+    The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and
+    pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.
+    We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers
+    and users.

+root@karaf> osgi:install wrap:mvn:commons-lang/commons-lang/2.4
+</pre><p>You can specify OSGi statements in the wrap URL:</p><p>from the shell</p><pre>

+<h1 id="TroubleshootingDebuggingProfilingandMonitoring">Troubleshooting, Debugging, Profiling, and Monitoring</h1><h2 id="Troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h2><h3 id="Logging">Logging</h3><p>Logging is easy to control through the console, with commands grouped under <em>log</em> shell. To learn about the available logging commands type:</p><pre>
+karaf@root> log&lt;tab>
+
+log:display              log:display-exception    log:get                  log:set
+karaf@root>
+</pre><p>Typical usage is:</p> <p> # Use <tt>log:set</tt> to dynamically change the global log level<br/> # Execute the problematic operation<br/> # Use <tt>log:display</tt> (or <tt>log:display-exception</tt> to display the log </p> <h3 id="WorstCaseScenario">Worst Case Scenario</h3><p>If you end up with a Karaf in a really bad state (i.e. you can not boot it anymore) or you just want to revert to a clean state quickly, you can safely remove the <tt>data</tt> directory in the installation directory.  This folder contains transient data and will be recreated if removed when you relaunch Karaf.<br/>You may also want to remove the files in the <tt>deploy</tt> folder to avoid them being automatically installed when Karaf is started the first time.</p><h2 id="Debugging">Debugging</h2><p>Usually, the easiest way to debug Karaf or any application deployed onto it is to use remote debugging.<br/>Remote debugging can be easily activated by using the <tt>debug</tt> parameter on the command li
 ne.</p><pre>> bin/karaf debug
+{noformat
+or on Windows
+</pre><p>> bin\karaf.bat debug<br/>{noformat</p><p>Another option is to set the <tt>KARAF_DEBUG</tt> environment variable to <tt>TRUE</tt>.</p><p>This can be done using the following command on Unix systems:</p><pre>export KARAF_DEBUG=true
+</pre><p>On Windows, use the following command</p><pre>set KARAF_DEBUG=true
+</pre><p>Then, you can launch Karaf using the usual way:</p><pre>bin/karaf
+</pre><p>or</p><pre>bin\karaf.bat
+</pre><p>Last, inside your IDE, connect to the remote application (the default port to connect to is 5005).</p><p>This option works fine when it is needed to debug a project deployed top of Apache Karaf. Nevertheless, you will be blocked <br/>if you would like to debug the server Karaf. In this case, you can change the following parameter suspend=y in the <br/>karaf.bat script file. That will cause the JVM to pause just before running main() until you attach a debugger then it <br/>will resume the execution.  This way you can set your breakpoints anywhere in the code and you should be able to hit them<br/>no matter how early in the startup they are.  </p><pre>
+export DEFAULT_JAVA_DEBUG_OPTS='-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005'
+</pre><p>and on Windows,</p><pre>
+set DEFAULT_JAVA_DEBUG_OPTS='-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005'
+</pre><h2 id="Profiling">Profiling</h2><h3 id="jVisualVM">jVisualVM</h3><p>You have to edit the <tt>etc/config.properties</tt> configuration file to add the jVisualVM package:</p><pre>
+org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=...,org.netbeans.lib.profiler.server
+</pre><p>Run Karaf from the console, and you should now be able to connect using jVisualVM.</p><h3 id="YourKit">YourKit</h3><p>You need a few steps to be able to profile Karaf using YourKit.<br/>The first one is to edit the <tt>etc/config.properties</tt> configuration file and add the following property:</p><pre>
+org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=com.yourkit.*
+</pre><p>Then, set the <tt>JAVA_OPTS</tt> environment variable:</p><pre>
+export JAVA_OPTS='-Xmx512M -agentlib:yjpagent'
+</pre><p>or, on Windows</p><pre>
+set JAVA_OPTS='-Xmx512M -agentlib:yjpagent'
+</pre><p>Run Karaf from the console, and you should now be able to connect using YourKit standalone or from your favorite IDE.</p><h2 id="Monitoring">Monitoring</h2><p>Karaf uses JMX for monitoring and management of all Karaf components.</p><p>The JMX connection could be:</p><ul><li>local using the process id</li></ul><p><img border="1" src="../images/jconsole_connect.jpg"/></p><ul><li>remote using the <tt>rmiRegistryPort</tt> property defined in <tt>etc/org.apache.karaf.management.cfg</tt> file.</li></ul><p>Using JMX, you can have a clean overview of the running Karaf instance:</p><ul><li>A overview with graphics displaying the load in terms of thread, heap/GC, etc:</li></ul><p><img border="1" src="../images/jconsole_overview.jpg"/></p><ul><li>A thread overview:</li></ul><p><img border="1" src="../images/jconsole_threads.jpg"/></p><ul><li>A memory heap consumption, including "Perform GC" button:</li></ul><p><img border="1" src="../images/jconsole_memory.jpg"/></p><ul><li>A complete
  JVM summary, with all number of threads, etc:</li></ul><p><img border="1" src="../images/jconsole_summary.jpg"/></p><p>You can manage Karaf features like you are in the shell. For example, you have access to the Admin service MBean, allowing you to create, rename, destroy, change SSH port, etc. Karaf instances:</p><p><img border="1" src="../images/jconsole_admin.jpg"/></p><p>You can also manage Karaf features MBean to list, install, and uninstall Karaf features:</p><p><img border="1" src="../images/jconsole_features.jpg"/></p>

The dumps can be<br/>packaged in a zip archive (default) or directly into a given directory.</p><pre>
+karaf@root> dev:create-dump
+Diagnostic dump created.
+</pre><p>The previous command generates a zip archive in the KARAF_HOME (by default the name is the generation timestamp).</p><p>The following dumps are available in the zip archive:</p><ul><li><tt>features.txt</tt> provides an overview of the features. It means:<ul><li>the repository list</li><li>the feature list including bundles URL</li></ul></li><li><tt>bundles.txt</tt> provides an overview of the installed bundles, with the ID and the state of each bundle.</li><li><tt>threads.txt</tt> provides a complete threads dump.

+karaf@root> dev:framework -debug
+Enabling debug for OSGi framework (Felix)

It's especially helpful in development mode.</p><p>It allows you to configure a set of URLs that will be monitored. All bundles whose location matches the given URL will be<br/>automatically updated. This avoids needing to manually update the bundles or even copy the bundles to the system folder.</p><p>Note that only Maven based URLs and Maven SNAPSHOTs will actually be updated automatically, so if you do:</p><pre>
+karaf@root> dev:watch *
+</pre><p>it will actually monitor all bundles that have a location matching mvn:* that have '-SNAPSHOT' in their URL.</p>
