Java pid errors with massive dump files

Products

• CA Application Performance Management (APM / Wily / Introscope)

Issue/Introduction

Getting very large java pid files on one of collectors for CA APM.  Need to figure out what is going on and fix to the issue.

Environment

Release : 10.7.0

Component : Introscope

Resolution

Collector was being overloaded with metrics and ran out of memory.

Had to increase the memory to the server and increase the EM setting.

 

We recommend customer add another collector in the future to handle additional agents.
