ZGC Allocation stall metrics via MXBean

[Connaughton, Niall]

I was going to ask the same question.

In addition - is there any documentation on how the allocation stalls work? I'm looking to understand things like whether the stall happens to any thread that attempts to allocate a new object, or only threads that need a new TLAB, or some other mechanism. Put another way - if we do something like jHiccup and have a thread constantly sleeping and allocating a small amount, would it detect allocation stalls? Or would it not be stalled until it exhausts its TLAB?

Thanks,
Niall

    Hi,
        I was trying to get GC metrics via GarbageCollectorMXBean but only see
    CollectionCount and CollectionTime.
    Even though i can get the Allocation Stall event from gc log i have to do
    some special setup to get that collected and reported properly.
    Since ZGC allocation stall is important event to identify if the
    application is having issue, can we expose it via any other MXBean?
    
    Thanks
