JDK 11

Safepoints and Garbage Collector log file analyzer

Whole page is under heavy development, it is tested mostly on G1/Parallel GC on JDK 11. If you have any issues with your log file send me message to ks@gclogs.com.

Current limitations:
  • Logs from JDK 11, 12, 13 - works with flags below , tested on Parallel, CMS and G1.
  • Logs from JDK 9, 10 - should work.
  • Logs from JDK 8 and below - experimental ( no GC log support , only safepoint, charts and stas are not accurate, because log file style sucks).
  • Max 33MB file (after compression).
  • For JDK 11+ decorators: level,tags,time,uptime are needed, check sample Xlog configuration below.
  • You can add many log files in one zip/7z archive. The files will be ordered by first line timestamp.
  • There is no exception handling at all :)
Upload file:
HINT: Compress logs (*.zip, *.gz, *.xz, *.7z) for fast uploads.
Upload logs from clipboard:
Upload logs with curl:

Compress your logs:
zip -r logs.zip logs_file.log*
Make sure your logs are not bigger than 33MB after compression.

Upload logs archive to the server:
curl -X POST --form file=@./logs.zip http://gclogs.com/enqueue
In response you'll receive link to your report. The report will be available for 3 minutes.

Kubernetes

kubectl exec -t <pod where logs are located> -- curl -X POST --form file=@<path to your logs on container> http://gclogs.com/enqueue
Remember that curl command must be available in the container
