How do I configure the gc.log and where can I find the file if there is a need to analyze java garbage collection logs for AAI?

Environment

• Product: Automation Analytics & Intelligence (AAI)
• Java Version: OpenJDK 17.x
• Operating System: Linux / UNIX

Resolution

1. Log in to the AAI server
2. Navigate to the AAI installation directory (default is /opt/Automation_Analytics_Intelligence).
3. Open jaws.sh.vmoptions in a text editor.
4. Locate the GC logging section at the bottom of the file.
5. Remove or comment out the line: -Xlog:gc=off.
6. Update the logging string to use the absolute path to the AAI directory.

Correct Configuration Example:

# Remove or comment out the 'off' flag to prevent conflicts# -Xlog:gc=off
# Enable logging using an absolute path-Xlog:gc*:file=/opt/Automation_Analytics_Intelligence/gc.log:time,uptime,level,tags:filecount=5,filesize=20M

7. Save the file and restart the AAI service for the changes to take effect.
