Unified logging for JVM

The main components of JVM include the following:

  • Classloader
  • JVM memory where the runtime data is stored; it is broken down into the following areas:
    • Stack area
    • Method area
    • Heap area
    • PC registers
    • Native method stack
  • Execution engine, which consists of the following parts:
    • Interpreter
    • The JIT compiler
    • Garbage collection
    • Native method interface JNI
    • Native method library

The log message of all these components can now be captured and analyzed using unified logging, turned on by the -Xlog option.

The main features of the new logging system are as follows:

  • Usage of the log levels—trace, debug, info, warning, error
  • Message tags that identify the JVM component, action, or message of a specific interest
  • Three output types—stdout, stderr, and file
  • The enforcement of the one-message-per-line limit
