What is the end goal that has you trying to disable PrintGCTimeStamps? Is it to reduce the size of the GC log by only including one timestamp, or something else? Running java 1.8.0_144, I cannot seem to actually do it. I tried removing the parameter from the start script, and I also tried *changing* the parameter to explicitly disable it: -XX:-PrintGCTimeStamps Both times, I verified that the commandline had changed. GC logging still includes both the full date stamp, which PrintGCDateStamps enables, and seconds since JVM start, which PrintGCTimeStamps enables. For the attempt where I changed the parameter instead of removing it, this is the full commandline on the running java process that the start script executed: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\bin\java" -server -Xms512m -Xmx512m -Duser.timezone=UTC -XX:NewRatio=3 -XX:SurvivorRatio=4 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=8 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:ConcGCThreads=4 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:+CMSScavengeBeforeRemark -XX:PretenureSizeThreshold=64m -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=50 -XX:CMSMaxAbortablePrecleanTime=6000 -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:-PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime "-Xloggc:C:\Users\sheisey\Downloads\solr-7.3.0\server\logs\solr_gc.log" -XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation -XX:NumberOfGCLogFiles=9 -XX:GCLogFileSize=20M -Xss256k -Dsolr.log.dir="C:\Users\sheisey\Downloads\solr-7.3.0\server\logs" -Dlog4j.configuration="file:C:\Users\sheisey\Downloads\solr-7.3.0\server\resources\log4j.properties" -DSTOP.PORT=7983 -DSTOP.KEY=solrrocks -Dsolr.log.muteconsole -Dsolr.solr.home="C:\Users\sheisey\Downloads\solr-7.3.0\server\solr" -Dsolr.install.dir="C:\Users\sheisey\Downloads\solr-7.3.0" -Dsolr.default.confdir="C:\Users\sheisey\Downloads\solr-7.3.0\server\solr\configsets\_default\conf" -Djetty.host=0.0.0.0 -Djetty.port=8983 -Djetty.home="C:\Users\sheisey\Downloads\solr-7.3.0\server" -Djava.io.tmpdir="C:\Users\sheisey\Downloads\solr-7.3.0\server\tmp" -jar start.jar "--module=http" "" That change should have done it. I think we're dealing with a Java bug/misfeature. Solr 5.5.5 with Java 1.7.0_80, 1.7.0_45, and 1.7.0_04 behave the same as 7.3.0 with Java 8. I have also verified that Solr 4.7.2 with Java 1.7.0_72 has the same issue. I do not have any information for Java 6 versions. All java versions examined are from Sun/Oracle. I filed a bug with Oracle. They have accepted it and it is now visible publicly. https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8202752 Thanks, Shawn
