How to enable Garbage Collection (GC) logs


To enable GC logs, the -Xloggc:logFileName option will have to be passed when java command is being executed. Additionally if the detailed log of the GC is required, then an additional -XX:+PrintGCDetails option will have to be passed.

Example: java -Xloggc:D:/log/myLogFile.log -XX:+PrintGCDetails myProg

    I can't get this command to work. verbose:gc works on its own, but the log file settings do not.
