Analyzing garbage collection log provides several advantages like: Reduces GC pause time, reduces cloud computing cost, predicts outages, provides effective metrics for capacity planning. To learn about the profound advantages of GC log analysis, please refer to this post. In this post let’s learn how to analyze GC logs?

When the application’s memory is under-allocated, it will result in the following side-effects:
a. Transactions response time will degrade
b. CPU consumption will spike up
c. OutOfMemoryError will be thrown
Only when OutOfMemoryError is thrown, most of us start to look at our application’s memory settings. This is like only when a patient goes to a critical condition; we begin to give treatment :-).
In this post, let’s discuss how to detect whether your application’s memory is under-allocated or not in a proactive manner.

As the author of GCeasy – Garbage collection log analysis tool, I get to see few interesting Garbage Collection Patterns again & again. Based on the Garbage collection pattern, you can detect the health and performance characteristics of the application instantly. In this video and the post, let me share few interesting Garbage collection patterns that have intrigued me.

Enabling Garbage collection logs on your application has certain advantages. In nutshell, Garbage collection logs will facilitate you to optimize Garbage Collection pause time, improve overall application’s response time, forecast production outages, reduce computing cost. Even though Garbage collection logs have these advantages, we weren’t sure what overhead does garbage collection logging add to the application. Thus we set out to conduct the below case study.

Java Virtual Machine (JVM) generates 3 critical artifacts that are useful for optimizing the performance and troubleshooting production problems. Those artifacts are:

At the time (March 2020) of writing this article there are 600+ arguments that you can pass to JVM just around Garbage collection and memory. If you include other aspects, total JVM arguments count will easily cross 1000+. 😊. It’s way too many arguments for anyone to digest and comprehend. In this article, we are highlighting seven important JVM arguments that you may find it useful.

In Garbage collection log analysis API we have introduced a new feature called Remote Location. Using this feature now you can pass the http(s) URL location of your GC log in the request.

Eclipse and IntelliJ are the two competing IDEs in the industry. There are lot of passionate discussion going in the social media, forums to declare the winner in this race. We thought it would be a fun exercise to study which IDE utilizes memory efficiently?
