Description
The nodetool gcstats command will print garbage collection statistics that returns values based on all the garbage collection that has run since the last time nodetool gcstats was run.
Statistics identify the interval time, some GC elapsed time measures, the disk space reclaimed (in megabytes (MB)), number of garbage collections that took place, and direct memory bytes.
Examples
 $ nodetool -u username -pw password gcstats
