The Garbage Collector Log Analyzer (GC Log Analyzer) is a tool to view and interpret Java heap, pause time, and operating system metrics gathered while running any OpenJDK distribution. It’s available in two versions:

The Community Availability (CA) package is available as a free download from the Azul website. This version is compatible with Azul Zing Builds of OpenJDK (Zing).
The Supported Availability (SA) version is available for customers and provides additional features for Azul Zulu Builds of OpenJDK (Zulu).

GC Log Analyzer offers significantly reduced memory usage and faster loading of large Garbage Collector log files. In addition, for Zing users, it offers graphs to give an insight into the JIT compilation activity, which is recorded in the gc.log file.
