[FIXED] When does Hibernate print statistics?

Issue

I've recently integrated hibernate into my webapp and am trying to see the performance impact/frequency of db calls that are happening.

After enabling show_sql and generate_statistics, when I run the application I see the sql queries run by hibernate and also hibernate statistics. Eg:

08:04:53.724 [http-apr-8080-exec-1] INFO  o.h.e.i.StatisticalLoggingSessionEventListener - Session Metrics {
85648 nanoseconds spent acquiring 1 JDBC connections;
0 nanoseconds spent releasing 0 JDBC connections;
0 nanoseconds spent preparing 0 JDBC statements;
0 nanoseconds spent executing 0 JDBC statements;
0 nanoseconds spent executing 0 JDBC batches;
0 nanoseconds spent performing 0 L2C puts;
0 nanoseconds spent performing 0 L2C hits;
0 nanoseconds spent performing 0 L2C misses;
0 nanoseconds spent executing 0 flushes (flushing a total of 0 entities and 0 collections);
0 nanoseconds spent executing 0 partial-flushes (flushing a total of 0 entities and 0 collections)
}

However the statistics statement gets printed multiple times per api call while the query statements are much lower in number. Also, its very rare to see a non zero value for any other metric except acquiring 1 JDBC connections in Statistics logs.

So when exactly does the logger run and what am I doing wrong to get so many metric logs?

Thanks

Solution

When you enable hibernate statistics you get session statistics information every time a session is closed. if you dont want this behavior you can disable it with adding of following entry in your log4j file:

log4j.logger.org.hibernate.engine.internal.StatisticalLoggingSessionEventListener=OFF
