IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Garbage Collection Analysis workspace
This workspace summarizes all the Java Virtual Machine's (JVM) garbage-collector activity over a user-defined interval.
The JVM generates detailed garbage collection logs for an application server when started with the verbose:gc runtime parameter. This workspace displays data provided by the Garbage Collection Analysis attributes.
The predefined workspace contains the following items:
- Garbage Collection Rate
History graph, which displays the rate at which the garbage-collection algorithm is being invoked
- Heap Usage
History bar chart
Displays the high-water mark of free storage (in kilobytes) available in the heap after each garbage-collector run
- Percentage of Time Garbage Collector Running
History graph, which displays the percentage of real-time the garbage collector was running during the current interval, for each server region
- Garbage Collection Analysis report
Displays information about the garbage-collection activities within the Java Virtual Machine that is hosting the application server. For example, this report displays the number of times the collector ran during the interval and the resulting number of objects that the collector freed
