This report is too vague. Please provide steps to reproduce and messages.log. Thanks.

Nothing happens when you click the perform gc button

此报告太模糊。请提供重现步骤messages.log。谢谢。

Thanks for the log file, although I still missing steps to reproduce. :-( However the log shows that you have unusual proxy settings. All is set to 127.0.0.1:7890 including socks proxy. The problem is probably caused by setting socks proxy - this setting is used when VisualVM communicates with monitored application and probably this not what you want. Please modify the proxy settings and disable proxy alltogether or at least remove socks proxy.

Thank you so much for taking a look at my log file, but obviously this is not what I wanted. The log file doesn't capture my problem, which is that nothing happens when I click Perform GC.

Please follow my advice - change proxy settings, restart VisualVM and attach new log file.

The log file now looks ok, provided that you run VisualVM, opened your application and invoked 'Perform GC'.

Yes, but I got nothing when I clicked on it, and reinstalling it won't work either

There are no other older versions available

I clicked on version 2.1.7 and it didn't work

Based on your screenshot above, it will be hard to see the effect of doing direct GC. BTW: How did you conclude that the 'Perform GC' action does not work?

and reinstalling it won't work either

I don't see a reason to reinstall it.

Are you looking for older versions of VisualVM?
