Descrizione
## Is your feature request related to a problem?
Sometimes our processes are struggling with GC, but it's not easy to "spot" or alert on if it's not at the point of OOMing, but it's just so busy doing GC it's effectively not getting it's work done. We'd like to be aware of instances that are in this state, and possibly alert on it.
## Describe the solution you'd like
It'd be nice if the APM agent could record an approximation of how much time it has spent on GC.
Elasticsearch has a similar solution
https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/server/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/monitor/jvm/JvmGcMonitorService.java
It's doing it as a scheduled task. I think it's also possible using https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/jdk.management/com/sun/management/GarbageCollectionNotificationInfo.html
What we want it something we can eventually alert on, e.g. if overhead > 50%, your application isn't getting much real work done.
## Describe alternatives you've considered
It's possible to collect it via custom metrics e.g. micrometer, but we have some services where we don't want to add custom code to.

Inizia esaminando il Elasticsearch JvmGcMonitorService indicato e l’API GarbageCollectionNotificationInfo di Java per confrontare gli approcci basati su attività pianificate e su notifiche. Traccia il modo in cui questo agente APM registra le metriche, quindi definisci l’approssimazione del tempo di GC e verifica che possa supportare gli avvisi quando l’overhead del GC supera una soglia.
