Error description
If the client uses the runtime tab to enableverbose GC during runtime, the GC counter starts at 1. However, this could be the 20th, 100th or millionth GC cycle. This could be deceptive when trying to analyze the logs as we heavily depend on the #1 count to match with when the server starts. If there was some indicator in the logs as to the origination of the verbose GC, (runtime or static) this would clear up any confusion.

As a result it is possible to mis-interpret the meaning of the verbose gc data.
