JVM startup parameters

JAVA_OPTS = "-Xms4G -Xmx4G -Xmn2G -XX:MetaspaceSize=512M -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512M -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+PrintGCDetails -Xloggc:/home/gc.log -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC"

Setting JVM startup parameters

-XX:+PrintGCDetails: Output detailed information of GC, including heap memory usage after each garbage collection and the status before and after collection.
-Xloggc:/home/gc.log: Save GC logs to the file /home/gc.log instead of outputting to the console. This allows the logs to be analyzed after the application has run.
-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps: Add a date stamp to each GC log record to facilitate viewing the time when garbage collection occurred.
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps: Add the elapsed time after JVM startup to each GC log, in seconds.
-XX:+PrintHeapAtGC: Print the detailed status of the heap before and after garbage collection, including the memory allocation of each generation (young generation, old generation, metaspace).
-XX:+UseParallelGC: Use Parallel GC (parallel garbage collector) to improve performance by executing garbage collection in parallel with multiple threads.

Application pause time

During the GC process, all threads of the application are suspended, which is called the "Stop-The-World" (STW) event. Pause time directly affects the performance and responsiveness of the application.

Log example:

2024-09-24T10:43:44.094+0800: 21.703: Total time for which application threads were stopped: 0.0015655 seconds, Stopping threads took: 0.0000978 seconds

Copy after login

Total time for which application threads were stopped:

The total time the application thread was suspended, here is 0.0015655 seconds (~1.57 milliseconds).

Stopping threads took:

The time spent suspending the thread, here 0.0000978 seconds (approximately 0.098 milliseconds).

GC (Minor GC)

Copy after login

GC type: Minor GC, triggered by memory allocation failure (Allocation Failure).
Young generation changes: from 1466389K to 41915K, total capacity 1492992K.
Total change in heap memory: from 1538798K to 152295K, total capacity 4114432K.

Full GC

Log example:

2024-09-24T14:14:45.068+0800: 11571.665: [Full GC (Ergonomics) [PSYoungGen: 26414K->0K(2061312K)] [ParOldGen: 2082863K->300700K(2097152K)] 2109278K->300700K(4158464K), [Metaspace: 176015K->174750K(1218560K)], 0.6404574 secs]

Copy after login

GC type: Full GC, triggered by JVM adaptive mechanism (Ergonomics).
Young generation change: from 26414K to 0K, indicating that the young generation has been fully recycled.
Old generation changes: reduced from 2082863K to 300700K, freeing up a lot of memory.
Total change in heap memory: from 2109278K to 300700K, total capacity 4158464K.
Metaspace change: reduced from 176015K to 174750K.
Time taken: 0.6404574 seconds (about 640 milliseconds).

Detailed status of heap memory

Due to the use of the -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC parameter, the GC log will print the detailed status of the heap memory before and after each GC, including the capacity and usage of each memory area.

Correspondence between JVM startup parameters and GC logs

Due to manually setting the JVM startup parameters, the GC logs contain more detailed information that facilitates in-depth analysis:

Memory allocation and usage:
- With -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC, you can view the heap memory status before and after each GC and understand the memory allocation and usage of each area.
Time stamp information:
- -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps and -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps provide precise time information to facilitate analysis of the time points and intervals of GC events.
GC event details:
- -XX:+PrintGCDetails outputs detailed information such as the type of GC event, triggering reason, memory recycling status and time consumption.

The above is the detailed content of Detailed explanation of ParallelGC logs. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
