New data adapter: Hotpsot JVM GC log files

[fthevenet]

Hi everyone,

This is a new discussion thread for gathering feedback on the upcoming "GC log files" data adapter.

This new adapter uses the Microsoft GCTookit to parse garbage collection events from log files produced by the Hotspot Java Virtual Machine.

It currently works with the Serial, Parallel, CMS and G1 collectors, and can produces graphs that shows heap occupancy, pause time, allocation rate, CPU time, heap size and more. You can find a complete list here.

Please give it a try and tell us what think and what could be improved.

Cheers!
