memory usage for jvm_monitor probe is too high

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

We have noticed that the jvm_monitor probe seems to be consuming too much memory.

This has caused other problems on the system, for example, trying to run some programs we receive errors like "OutOfMemory" or "Thread Limit Reached".

We have tried adjusting the memory settings under startup->opt but this did not help.

 

Environment

DX UIM - All Versions
jvm_monitor probe - all versions

Resolution

The jvm_monitor probe does not use the usual startup options - they are configured by default but the probe actually does not respect them.

To control the memory usage, take the following steps:

•  open Raw Configure on jvm_monitor
•  highlight "properties"
•  click Create New Section
•  name the section "java_options"
•  inside this new section create two new keys with the following values:
  min = -Xms64m
  max = -Xmx255m

 

After this, deactivate and activate the probe and the problem should be resolved.
