I would like to ask, if anybody knows date or more informations about JDK flight recorder backport in the RedHat OpenJDK 8 production release (for RHEL 7)? I've tried the last build (1.8.0_242-b08) that doesn't contain it yet, and based on this article (https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/13279-openjdk-8-to-get-jdk-flight-recorder.html) I thought that it will contain and nowhere can not find more information. Best regards and thanks for your answers.

    FYI, Azul Systems back-ported Flight Recorder and Mission Control to Java 8. See [announcement 2019-06](https://www.azul.com/press_release/azul-systems-announces-general-availability-zulu-mission-control-v7-0/). – Basil Bourque Feb 10 '20 at 20:55

Thank you for your answers. I also got answers directly from Red Hat: We plan to release Java Flight Recorder / Mission Control for OpenJDK 8 for Q3 2020 (July 2020). Have a nice day

  • do you know where they will publish this information? Besides your answer I did not find anything useful in the internet. – Matécsa Andrea May 12 '20 at 13:21
  • Maybe here: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/java-1.8.0-openjdk/1.8.0.252.b09-2.el8_1/x86_64/fd431d51/package-changelog – Miroslav Karkoška May 13 '20 at 16:06

Officially, JFR was included in OpenJDK 8 update 262. You can check the release notes for openjdk8u262.

New features - JDK-8223147: JFR Backport

You can download this (or latest with JFR) release from the AdoptOpenJDK. I have seen that the download list included a version built by Redhat on their platform. You may have to look at the archives if you are very particular about getting one built by Redhat.
