Recording 1: name=1 maxsize=250.0MB (running)

Recording 2: name=2 maxsize=250.0MB (running)
Solution

  • -XX:StartFlightRecording only starts one recording, but if it's specified twice, two recordings begin. It's also possible to start another recording using jcmd.

    When 250 MB is reached, the oldest 10-15 MB are removed and filled with new data.
