JDK17 and Full GC with Zgc

How does GCeasy detect Full GC's from gc.log when using JDK17 with ZGC?

Hello Mark!

 

 Greetings.

 

 I could be wrong here. As far as I know there is nothing called 'Full GC' or 'Young GC' in Z GC. In the earlier GC algorithms (ie. serial, parallel, CMS, G1,...) there was 3 generations:

 

1. Young Gen

2. Old Gen

3. Metaspace

 

'Young GC' will reclaim objects only from 'Young Gen'. 'Full GC' will reclaim objects from all three regions (i.e. 'young Gen', 'Old Gen', 'Metaspace'). Since in Z GC there is only single generation there is no 'Young GC' and 'Full GC'. We just have GC.

 

 Feel free to correct if my understanding is wrong. Thanks.

I'm not disputing your understanding. However, the gceasy intelligence report for my gc log file shows full gc's on the interactive graph section when hovering over the heap before and after charts. This appears to be a contradiction.

Hello Mark!

 

 Kindly accept our apologies. We will fix it. When hovering  in Z GC graphs we should be printing 'GC' only and not 'Full GC'
