[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-4115) JDK11 - GC logging format needs to be reviewed

[James Perkins (Jira)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-4115?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13658558#comment-13658558 ] 

James Perkins commented on WFCORE-4115:
---------------------------------------

I do believe Java 9+ defaults to G1GC, however the format difference is because of [JEP 271|http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/271]. That JEP reimplemented GC logging which leads to the new format. In the "Non Goals" it states:

Non-Goals
It is not a goal to ensure that current GC log parsers work without change on the new GC logs.

Not all log entries will necessarily be reproduced in the new logging format.
{quote} 

Essentially there's nothing we can do. We'll have to use a new parser.

> * Weird naming of gc log files
> ** I test this with JDK11
> ** I start standalone and stop standalone
> ** JDK10 creates JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log/gc.log (with detailed information) and JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log/gc.log.0 (with brief summary of gc logging)
> ** I start standalone and stop standalone again
> ** JDK10 moves original gc.log to gc.log.1
> ** JDK10 keep original gc.log.0
> ** JDK10 creates new gc.log (with detailed information) and gc.log.2 (with brief summary of gc logging)
> ** Can this be changed by GC settings?
> * GC logs are much more verbose against jdk8 gc logs. Can this be fixed by some JDK10 gc settings? 
> This is follow up for WFCORE-3996
