I totally agree. My intent is that all log records should always
look the same no matter what other logging is enabled. In particular
I plan to use a "ref" tag for the reference processing and log that
on separate lines. I think that will look pretty natural given the
new start and end lines for the GC. I'll post an example of that
when I have it implemented.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>Cool!</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">

Thanks, but I don't think that is necessary for this purpose. I
think I understand the issues you describe. But for other reasons it
would of course be interesting if you could make your DB of logs
available. :)<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>Martijn and I have been talking about this. We have a closed repository on GitHub with GC logs of interest. The problem is some of the logs are too big to stash there. We also would have to sanitize them to ensure we don’t violate any NDAs.<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">

The can often get misaligned with the time stamp. So I’m inclined to pick up the first date as a reference point and then calculate dates using the time stamp from there on.

I'm not quite sure I understand your issue here. But the absolute
time and date stamps will all be provided by the decorations support
in the unified logging framework. So, maybe this question is better
discussed in that thread? The GC logging will only add duration
timing.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>ok, I have an examples but where is the question at the moment. When I find it, I’ll post it. In Censum I have a check that tells me when the time stamps move back in time. I typically see this when people concatenate logs together or if NTP rolls the clock back. Sometimes it just seems that there is a gap between when the date stamp and the time stamp are taken. So in Censum it appears as if the clock rolled backwards when only one of the timers (either the date stamp or the time stamp) has become misaligned. In these cases, the problem always seems to corrects its self on the next record. For that reason I’ll capture a date stamp and calibrate it to the start of the JVM and then after that only look for time stamps. If I need a date from the time stamp then I can refer back to the initial date stamp to calculate it. It sound tricky but what it does do is help me get past some of the problems that I run into when reading timing data from the logs.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>As to the last point, I’m concerned that there will be gap between then the GC event starts and when it gets logged. That will cause problems with certain calculations. I’d much rather get a time stamp from the GC log entry for the start of an event than get it from UL.</div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">
