It depends on the caching in your system.  What do the next few  
entries show?


The difficulty with char[] and byte[] by themselves is that they're  
generally held by other objects like String or a cache.  If you have a  
big cache, then that size could be perfectly normal.  If they're held  
by non-caching objects, then it's likely a leak.

Do your httpd processes consume all the swap, with top showing some at

slow growth starts it all again?
  


Yes, it does.
Exactly the same behavior reported by you... :-/

Most of the times restarting only the httpd process back it to normal. 
Other times I need to restart resin, too.


That is my pattern. So when I profile resin theres no unusual growth 
even through the whole server is effectiviley dead until restart. Given 
that, whos to blame? Could mod_caucho somehow be at fault even though 
resin itself is ok?
  


Same thoughts.

There are profiling/memory allocation tracking tools for C and
Linux... if you're seeing what looks like a memory leak, it might be
worth looking into.  They're quite a bit more complicated than the
equivalent java tools but years ago in another life I got a lot of
mileage out of Rational Purify, which has a free trial version.

 I don't know about Ronan's problem, but yours sounds like non-java-
 heap memory or native memory is being exhausted. In my experience,
 the biggest consumers of that are threads and graphic operations.
 Depending on the system you're running on, your default stack size
 could be quite large. Have you tried setting your stack size to a
 much
 smaller value via -Xss? Unless you're doing a lot of heavy recursion,
 the chance that you'll need a large stack is fairly remote. On our
 (very busy) Windows boxes, we use a stack size of 128K (-Xss128K).
 Keep in mind that on a 32-bit system (not sure what you're running
 on), you have only 2G of addressable memory per process. So if you
 define a larg(ish) java heap, you have only 2G - YourHeapSize to use
 for allocating memory for threads and other non-java operations, such
 as some graphics operations.

 Rob


 How come this doesn't happen when I move the non-resin stuff (i.e. the
 PHP apps) to another server? Its Linux Fed 7, dual core, 1G Ram/4G
 swap.
 What I'm really asking is how can you be sure its not mod_caucho? Btw
 there are no graphics operations involved, and the PHP apps are all
 popular packages like Joomla and Pligg, so if these were at fault I'm
 sure the users would be screaming in their forums about it.

 I don't know that it's not mod_caucho. I'm only suggesting a possible
 cause and something to try. Iirc, at least some versions of resin
 (perhaps all) set their own stack size if the user does not specify
 one. If this is the case, it may be that the version you're using is
 setting a stack size that is larger than the default stack size of
 your OS (or larger than the stack size set by whatever other software
 you're using to run you PHP apps). Anyway, it's easy to set and easy
 to test.

It's also worth mentioning that for serious application tuning, there
is no substitute for a good profiling tool.  In the past I have had
great results with JProfiler:
http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/jprofiler/overview.html

I've even gone so far as to take one node in a production cluster,
give it a reduced load profile at the balancer (because profiling
slows things down considerably), and run the profiler against it live.
 You'll be amazed what you discover.

Re: [Resin-interest] Perf Issues

2009-03-21 Thread Daniel Lopez
 From our years using Resin and other containers, even though  
basically Resin, we have found basically 2 things that containers do  
not like:

.- Swap memory. I know it's stating the obvious, but when your app is  
running out of memory and the GC starts working like frenzy, the worst  
it can happen is that the memory it is working with is on disk. That's  
where the CPU usage starts going up the roof and there's no way to  
stop the JVM but with a hard kill.

.- Restarting the context. Yeah, contexts should not be restarted in  
production, but sometimes it happens. No matter how good a container  
is or how careful you are with your application, there are many  
third-party libraries that were not really well thought-out for a  
multi-classloader environment and they leave dangling references,  
which in many cases means the old classloader is not properly cleaned  
and retains, sort of, a copy of all your WEB-INF/lib/.jar's in memory.  
Unless you do all on your own, we consider this one a lost battle,  
because there are so many popular libraries that cause such problems...

We don't use mod_caucho, so we don't usually have problems with  
Apache, so in our case we simply make sure to stay in the safe RAM  
memory zone and restart the servers once a day just to stay on the  
safe side as well. There are some nodes we don't restart and can stay  
up for months, but our environment is many small applications and they  
don't need to be 24/7, so that works better for us.

 From your description it looks more probable to be a problem of your  
application, but even if it is not, as the other people recommended, a  
memory profiler should do wonders to find out what's going on. Take a  
memory snapshot when the application is in regular usage and then  
another when the memory starts growing too much and compare them. I've  
used YourKit Java Profiler in those situation with the  
compare-snapshots option and worked quite well. Many other profilers  
also have that capability.

S!
D.

[Resin-interest] Perf Issues

2009-03-20 Thread Ronan Lucio
Hi,

We have had a perf issue.

Our servers have 4Gb RAM. It has just Resin and Apache installed.

The problem is, when I start Resin, the whole server uses about 2.5 Gb RAM
After that memory usage keep growing til it reachs the 4Gb RAM, use swap
and so on.

After few hours the application start getting slow.
Analyzing the server sources, it's using so low CPU, load about 1... I
see none overload evidence, except for RAM memory.

So I just restart Resin and/or Apache and application gets fast again,
but few ours later it will raise the same issue.

This problem usually happens on peaks hours.

So we upgraded RAM memory to 8Gb with a PAE kernel.
Although it doesn't reach the 8G RAM, slow moments gots for frequent. It
seems to work worse that way (8Gb + PAE kernel).

The question is:
Is there everyone having the same issue with Resin (3.1.6)?
My doubt if such problem resides either on Resin or on my application.

Thanks,
Ronan

The /resin-admin has a heap dump which will give you a general idea of  
what's taking the memory (you will need to add a -agentlib:resin to  
enable it.

That heap information is very important because it will very quickly  
let you focus on the real issue.  Otherwise, it's almost impossible to  
guess what the underlying problem is.

Thank you for the answer,
I'll do that.

Hi Bill,

I have already done it some weeks ago, but it doesn't seem the problem.

Thanks,
Ronan

I would also enable garbage collection logging (-Xloggc:filename) to 
see if your application is running slow because the JVM is spending a 
lot of time doing garbage collection.


If you are running SUN Java 6, you can use the jmap command to do a 
heap dump also.  Jmap is available in Java 5 but it doesn't always 
produce a consistent heap dump.
