Azul Mission Control Additional Features
Apart from the functionality that is available in Java Mission Control from OpenJDK, Azul Mission Control has special features designed for a better user experience and deeper integration with Azul products. Most of these features are related to working with Azul Zulu Prime JVMs and are described below.
Internal JVM threads
Azul Mission Control can distinguish application threads from internal JVM threads (for example, GC threads) if the monitored JVM is Azul Zulu Prime. You can toggle internal threads in the flight recording interface.
Azul Zulu Core/Prime JVM recognition
Azul Mission Control can recognize Azul Zulu Core and Azul Zulu Prime JVMs.
For Azul Zulu Prime JVMs, the application marks the JVM connection node with [Zing] as shown in the image below:
