Abstract

Systems and methods are provided to automatically analyze performance of an automatic memory management system. One example embodiment involves automatically gathering, using at least one processor of the server, garbage collection information associated with the garbage collection process and storing the garbage collection information in a garbage collection output file of a file system. The garbage collection output file may be analyzed to identify a plurality of flags associated with a performance of the server system that does not meet one or more performance thresholds. In certain embodiments, a first flag of the plurality of flags is associated with a first portion of the garbage collection information, and a second flag of the plurality of flags is associated with a second portion of the garbage collection information that is different from the first portion of the garbage collection information.
