introduction
In modern operating systems, task managers are a very important tool to monitor and manage the operating status of computers, including CPU usage, memory footprint, disk I/O, and network traffic. For developers and system administrators, understanding this performance data can help optimize application and system performance. This article will explain how to write a simple program in Java to monitor network performance data and show how to obtain and display this information.
1. Background knowledge
In Java, monitoring network performance data usually requires relying on the operating system's native API or third-party libraries. The Java standard library itself does not directly provide tools to obtain network interface statistics. However, network data can be parsed by executing system commands (such as ifconfig or ip -s link in Linux, netstat under Windows), or cross-platform third-party libraries such as Oshi.
Oshi is an open source Java library for obtaining operating system and hardware information, supporting Windows, Linux and macOS. It provides a simple API to get the usage of hardware resources such as CPU, memory, disk and network.
2. Preparation
Before you start writing code, you need to make sure that your development environment already contains the Oshi library. Dependencies can be managed through Maven or Gradle.
1. Maven dependencies
Add the following dependencies to your file:
<dependency>
<groupId></groupId>
<artifactId>oshi-core</artifactId>
<version>6.2.3</version>
</dependency>
2. Gradle dependencies
In yourAdd the following dependencies to the file:
groovyCopy the code implementation ':oshi-core:6.2.3'
3. Code implementation
Below is a complete Java program example showing how to use the Oshi library to obtain and display traffic data from a network interface.

public class NetworkMonitor {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// Get system information SystemInfo systemInfo = new SystemInfo();
HardwareAbstractionLayer hal = ();
// Get all network interfaces List<NetworkIF> networkIFs = ();
// Print initial network interface information printNetworkInterfaces(networkIFs);
// Sleep for a period of time to calculate traffic changes (5);
// Get network interface information again to calculate traffic List<NetworkIF> networkIFsAfterSleep = ();
// Print flow changes printNetworkTraffic(networkIFs, networkIFsAfterSleep);
}
private static void printNetworkInterfaces(List<NetworkIF> networkIFs) {
("Network Interfaces:");
for (NetworkIF networkIF : networkIFs) {
("Name: " + ());
("Description: " + ());
("MAC Address: " + ());
("MTU: " + ());
("Up: " + ());
("------------------------");
}
();
}
private static void printNetworkTraffic(List<NetworkIF> networkIFsBefore, List<NetworkIF> networkIFsAfter) {
("Network Traffic (bytes) over 5 seconds:");
for (NetworkIF networkIFBefore : networkIFsBefore) {
String ifName = ();
for (NetworkIF networkIFAfter : networkIFsAfter) {
if ((())) {
long rxBytesBefore = ();
long txBytesBefore = ();
long rxBytesAfter = ();
long txBytesAfter = ();
long rxRate = rxBytesAfter - rxBytesBefore;
long txRate = txBytesAfter - txBytesBefore;
("Interface: " + ifName);
("Received Rate: " + rxRate + " bytes/sec");
("Transmitted Rate: " + txRate + " bytes/sec");
("------------------------");
}
}
}
}
}
4. Detailed explanation of the code
Obtain system information：
SystemInfo systemInfo = new SystemInfo(); HardwareAbstractionLayer hal = ();
SystemInfoClass is used to obtain information about the entire system.HardwareAbstractionLayerThe class provides an interface to access hardware resources.Get the network interface list：
List<NetworkIF> networkIFs = ();
getNetworkIFsMethod returns a list of all network interfaces.Print initial network interface information：
printNetworkInterfaces(networkIFs);
printNetworkInterfacesThe method traverses the network interface list and prints the name, description, MAC address, MTU, and status of each interface.Calculate traffic changes：
(5); List<NetworkIF> networkIFsAfterSleep = ();
The program sleeps for 5 seconds, and then obtains network interface information again to calculate traffic changes.
Print flow changes：
printNetworkTraffic(networkIFs, networkIFsAfterSleep);
printNetworkTrafficThe method calculates the reception and transmission rates of each network interface and prints the results.
V. Operation results
After running the program, you will see an output similar to the following:
Network Interfaces: Name: eth0 Description: Ethernet interface MAC Address: 00:1a:2b:3c:4d:5e MTU: 1500 Up: true ------------------------ ... (Other network interface information) ... Network Traffic (bytes) over 5 seconds: Interface: eth0 Received Rate: 1234567 bytes/sec Transmitted Rate: 7654321 bytes/sec ------------------------ ... (Traffic information for other network interfaces) ...
6. Summary
This article describes how to use Java and Oshi libraries to implement a simple network performance monitoring tool. Through this program, we can obtain the name, description, MAC address, MTU and status of the network interface, and calculate the reception and transmission rates within the specified time interval. This is a very useful tool for developers and system administrators to help monitor and optimize network performance.
The Oshi library provides a cross-platform solution, making it easier and more efficient to obtain system hardware resource information in Java. By extending the program, more monitoring functions can be added, such as CPU usage, memory footprint, disk I/O, etc., to build a complete system performance monitoring tool.
The above is a detailed explanation of the method of Java implementing the performance network monitoring data of the task manager. For more information about Java monitoring network performance data, please pay attention to my other related articles!
