元数据获取失败

Error message

元数据获取失败

What it means

Thrown by fetchJfrMetadata in jfr.ts when POSTing {namespace:'jfr-file', api:'metadata', target:fileId} to /arthas-api/analysis and the response JSON has code !== 1. The message falls back to '元数据获取失败' (metadata fetch failed) only when the server supplied no msg, so the real cause is usually in json.msg or the arthas backend log.

Solutions

1. Inspect the actual json.msg in the response (it overrides this fallback) and the arthas backend log for the real error.
2. Re-upload the JFR file and use the freshly returned fileId.
3. Confirm the /arthas-api/analysis endpoint is reachable and the backend analysis service is running.

Example fix

// before
const meta = await fetchJfrMetadata({ fileId });

// after
try {
  const meta = await fetchJfrMetadata({ fileId });
} catch (e) {
  console.error('metadata failed for', fileId, e.message);
  // re-upload then retry with new fileId
}

async function safeFetchMetadata(fileId) {
  const res = await fetch('/arthas-api/analysis', { method:'POST', headers:{'Content-Type':'application/json'}, body: JSON.stringify({ namespace:'jfr-file', api:'metadata', target:fileId, parameters:{} }) });
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error('HTTP ' + res.status);
  const json = await res.json();
  if (json.code !== 1) throw new Error(json.msg || 'metadata failed');
  return json;
}

try { const meta = await fetchJfrMetadata({ fileId }); }
catch (e) { showError(e.message); await reuploadJfr(); }

When it happens

Trigger: fileId refers to a JFR file that was not uploaded/expired; the arthas analysis backend is unreachable or errored; res.json() succeeded but code is an error code with a server msg.

Common situations: Frontend holds a stale fileId after the upload expired; backend arthas service down; the JFR file failed to parse on the server side.
