Unknown gc event warnings when parsing

[stubarlow]

Hi. I found a number of WARNING messages after parsing my gc log. Version 1.36-SNAPSHOT jdk1.8.0_144

parser output

WARNING [DataReaderSun1_6_0]: could not find name of event before 56 WARNING [DataReaderSun1_6_0]: com.tagtraum.perf.gcviewer.imp.ParseException: com.tagtraum.perf.gcviewer.imp.UnknownGcTypeException: Unknown gc type: 'Preclean SoftR' Line 130170: 2019-03-15T21:47:02.331+0100: 277395.331: [Preclean SoftR2019-03-15T21:47:02.338+0100: 277395.339: [CMS-concurrent-preclean: 0.007/0.008 secs] [Times: user=0.02 sys=0.00, real=0.01 secs]

Great tool by the way. I've just started using it. Apologies if I inadvertently created this problem myself by setting incorrect JVM parameters.

Hi Stubarlow,

It looks like the parser was confused by some part of the log output in your log file. Could you please attach a sample log file to this issue containing the offending line(s)?

Best regards, Jörg

Hi Jörg. There were 7 occurrences of the offending event over a 3 day period. Each occurrence results in 4 separate log entries. There's one example in that sample I attached. Let me know if you need more data. Thanks!
