Resolution

While enabling the gc log , add -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps JVM_OPTION in standalone.conf file if JBoss is running in standalone mode and in domain mode add this -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps option as given in link https://access.redhat.com/solutions/18656 to enable gc in domain mode : 

-verbose:gc -Xloggc:gc.log.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps
