About this software
VisualGC is a graphical tool that attaches to instrumented HotSpot JVMs to collect and display garbage collection, class loader, and HotSpot compiler metrics. It visualizes Young, Old, and Perm/Metaspace utilization and plots GC events and pause information over time.
Distributed with the jvmstat utilities, VisualGC is available as a separate download and can be used locally or remotely to help diagnose GC behaviour and support heap and GC tuning workflows.

Frequently asked questions
What is JetBrains 3rd Party JDK Visual GC?
A Java Development Kit distribution that includes Visual GC, a JVM monitoring tool for visualizing garbage collection activity, heap usage, and memory-pool behavior during runtime.
How does Visual GC help diagnose Java application performance?
Visual GC displays real-time garbage collection events, heap and memory-pool usage, and pause durations, helping identify frequent GC cycles, long pauses, and memory-growth patterns.
How can Visual GC be attached to or run with a JVM process?
Attach via JDK monitoring interfaces (for example JMX/JConsole-style connectors) or launch the Visual GC client against a JVM that exposes standard monitoring endpoints.
How to configure this JDK in development tools and CI environments?
Set the distribution as JAVA_HOME or as a project JDK in build tools and IDEs, and ensure monitoring utilities are available on the PATH for runtime inspection.
Where are licensing and third-party component details provided?
License terms and third-party notices are provided with the distribution; consult the packaged license files and documentation included in the installation.
