Description: The JVM garbage collection monitoring tracks the performance of garbage collection in the Java Virtual Machine. This process is crucial for memory management, as it allows for the release of space occupied by objects that are no longer needed, thereby optimizing resource usage. Garbage collection in the JVM is performed automatically, but its efficiency can vary depending on several factors, such as JVM configuration, application type, and workload. Monitoring provides key metrics, such as garbage collection pause time, the amount of memory freed, and the frequency of collections, allowing developers and system administrators to identify bottlenecks and optimize application performance. Monitoring tools like JVisualVM, JConsole, and third-party solutions enable real-time visualization of this data, facilitating informed decision-making regarding JVM configuration and tuning. In production environments, garbage collection monitoring is essential to ensure that Java applications run efficiently and without interruptions, resulting in a better experience for the end user.
