Apache Geode produces a variety of statistics in each member of the DistributedSystem. See my article here for the most useful ones.
There are several ways to display these statistics. The main way to display historical statistics (contained in a gfs archive file) is to use the Visual Statistics Display (vsd) tool. See the documentation here for additional details on vsd.
The main way to display current statistics (from the members in a running DistributedSystem) is to access the JMX MBeans, although not all statistics are available via JMX. See the documentation here for additional details on JMX. Any JMX tool (e.g. JConsole or VisualVM) can be used to access the MBeans.
Other ways to display both current and historical statistics include:
SystemAdmin class for historical statisticsThis article describes both of these ways to display the statistics.
The SystemAdmin class can be used to show historical statistics from a gfs archive file.
The scripts described in this article are available here.
The SystemAdmin class can be invoked using the systemadmin.sh script.
java -classpath $GEODE/lib/geode-dependencies.jar org.apache.geode.internal.SystemAdmin $1 "$2" $3
Several examples of using the systemadmin.sh script to display specific statistics are shown below.
To display the Old Gen heap memory statistics, execute the systemadmin.sh script like:
./systemadmin.sh stats "CMS Old Gen-Heap memory:VMMemoryPoolStats" -archive=statistics.gfs

All of the most useful statistics described in my article here can be displayed using the displaystatistics.sh script. Several of the functions from that script are shown below.
The get_stat function retrieves a statistic from the archive file.
function get_stat {
local stat_line=`./systemadmin.sh stats $2 -archive=$1`
echo "$stat_line"
}
The log_stat function shows the minimum, maximum and last values for a single statistic.
function log_stat {
RESULT=`get_stat $1 $2`
STAT=`echo $RESULT | awk '{print $14}'`
UNIT=`echo $RESULT | awk '{print $15}'`
MIN=`echo $RESULT | awk '{print $17}'`
MAX=`echo $RESULT | awk '{print $18}'`
LAST=`echo $RESULT | awk '{print $21}'`
echo $STAT $UNIT $MIN $MAX $LAST
}
The log_stats function shows the minimum, maximum and last values for multiple statistics.
function log_stats {
RESULT=`get_stat $1 $2`
for i in $RESULT;
do
INFO_INDEX=`echo $i | awk '{print index($1, "info")}'`
if [ "$INFO_INDEX" -eq 0 ]; then
STAT_INDEX=`echo $i $2 | awk '{print index($1, "$2")}'`
if [ "$STAT_INDEX" -eq 0 ]; then
STAT_NAME=`echo $i | awk '{print $1}'`
if [[ "$STAT_NAME" =~ $3 ]]; then
UNIT=`echo $i | awk '{print $2}'`
MIN=`echo $i | awk '{print $4}'`
MAX=`echo $i | awk '{print $5}'`
LAST=`echo $i | awk '{print $8}'`
echo -e '\t'$STAT_NAME $UNIT $MIN $MAX $LAST
fi
fi
else
TYPE=`echo $2 | awk -F: '{print $1}'`
echo $TYPE
fi
done
}

The current value of any statistic in a running DistributedSystem member is available via Java API. A custom Function can be written that logs or retrieves the current value of any statistic.
All source code described in this article as well as an example usage is available here.
The GetStatisticValueFunction gets the value for a specific statistic.
It can be easily modified to return all the statistics values:
The getStatisticValue method:
typeName (e.g. PartitionedRegionStats)textId (e.g. /Trade)Its parameters are:
statisticsFactory — the InternalDistributedSystem instancetypeName — the statistic categorytextId — the statistic instancestatistic — the desired statisticprivate Number getStatisticValue(StatisticsFactory statisticsFactory, String typeName,
String textId, String statistic) {
// Get the statistics for the type
StatisticsType type = statisticsFactory.findType(typeName);
Statistics[] statisticsByType = statisticsFactory.findStatisticsByType(type);
// Filter the statistics by the textId (instance)
// and get the first occurrence of the statistic in that instance
return Arrays.stream(statisticsByType)
.filter(statistics -> statistics.getTextId().equals(textId))
.map(statistics -> statistics.get(statistic))
.findFirst()
.orElse(-1);
}
To log the value of the CMS Old Gen heap memory currentUsedMemory statistic, execute the GetStatisticValueFunction like:
./runclient.sh get-statistic VMMemoryPoolStats 'CMS Old Gen-Heap memory' currentUsedMemory

The LogAllStatisticValuesFunction logs all the statistic categories, instances and values.
It can easily be modified to log the statistics values for:
DistributionStats)VMMemoryPoolStats — CMS Old Gen heap memory)The logAllStatistics method:
private void logAllStatistics(Cache cache) {
// Get the statistics
InternalDistributedSystem ids = (InternalDistributedSystem) cache.getDistributedSystem();
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
List<Statistics> statsList = ids.getStatisticsManager().getStatsList();
// Add the header
addHeader(ids, builder, statsList);
// Add the statistics
statsList.stream()
.sorted(Comparator.comparing(statistics -> statistics.getType().getName()))
.forEach(statistics -> addStatistics(builder, statistics));
// Log the results
cache.getLogger().info(builder.toString());
}
The addStatistics method:
private void addStatistics(StringBuilder builder, Statistics statistics) {
// Add statistics header
StatisticsType type = statistics.getType();
addStatisticsHeader(builder, statistics, type);
// Add statistics
Arrays.stream(type.getStatistics())
.sorted(Comparator.comparing(StatisticDescriptor::getName))
.forEach(statisticDescriptor -> addStatistic(builder, statistics, statisticDescriptor));
builder.append("\n");
}
The addStatistic method adds each statistic name and value to the builder.
private void addStatistic(StringBuilder builder, Statistics statistics, StatisticDescriptor descriptor) {
builder
.append("\n\t")
.append(descriptor.getName())
.append("=")
.append(NumberFormat.getInstance().format(statistics.get(descriptor.getName())))
