Microsoft open-sources Java garbage collection analyzer
Microsoft’s Java Engineering Group has open-sourced the Microsoft GCToolkit, a set of libraries for analyzing Java garbage collection (GC) log files.Available on GitHub and offered under the MIT license, GCToolkit parses log files into discrete events and has an API for aggregating data from those events. Users can create arbitrary and complex analyses of the state of managed memory in the JVM, as shown by the Java GC log. [ Also on InfoWorld: What to expect in Java 18 ] Unveiled in early August, GCToolkit is comprised of three Java modules that cover the API, GC log file parsers, and a message backplane based on the Vert.x toolkit for building reactive applications on the JVM. The API module is the entry point into the toolkit, hiding the details of using the parser and Vert.x to analyze a GC log file into a few method calls. The parser module is a collection of regular expressions and code developed to be a robust GC log parser.To read this article in full, please click here
