Know of any Java garbage collection log analysis tools?

I think some people are adding Java probes which don't really parse garbage collection logs as the question states...

I've tried others (gcviewer, gchisto, IBM's) and the best tool I found for analyzing GC logs is HPjmeter

It is mainly for HP-UX JVMs, but it also usually works with Sun JVMs and does a great job.

I tried a online tool http://gceasy.io , it can read my sun jdk 1.8 gc log.


gcviewer does what you want.


IBM's GC toolkit does exactly what you ask.

I'm not sure if it's compatible with GC logs from Sun's JVM though.
