The JavaVM garbage collection log can be acquired only when the log output destination is set before starting JavaVM or the J2EE server.

The output destination of the garbage collection log is specified in the ejb.server.log.directory parameter in the <configuration> tag of logical J2EE server (j2ee-server), in the Easy Setup definition file.

Also, when you want to perform a full garbage collection for the running Java processes, execute the javagc command. The javagc command can also be used for measuring the memory used for one transaction, investigating memory leak, and application debugging other than for investigating the cause when a problem occurs.

The execution format of the javagc command when performing a full garbage collection by specifying a running Java process is as follows. Note that for other options that can be specified, see javagc (forced occurrence of garbage collection) in the uCosminexus Application Server Command Reference Guide.

Execution format

javagc -p process-ID

The following log is output as the execution result. Note that in this example, -XX:+HitachiVerboseGCPrintCause has been specified as the option.
