How does the garbage collector works and how to anticipate its activity?

Tristan Cariou 5

Hello there,

I try do develop a product to track the Gen2 activity based on activity logs. The issue here is with the garbage collector, regarding its action and how to anticipate it. I cannot find exactly how or when it will act, nor any trace of its activity in the logs (when it deletes uncommitted blocs for example). Is the 7-days interval between 2 actions of the garbage collector an absolute rule? I found .NET and Powershell scripts to configure it or force its passage but would like to know if anyone has more informations about it, other ways to configure it and/or interesting documentation to share.

Thanks in advance for your help!

@Tristan Cariou Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you are trying to track the ADLS Gen2 activity based on activity logs. Please explain what product you are using for this and if the garbage collector you are referring to is related to this product that you are developing.

Thank you!
