Github user franz1981 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/activemq-artemis/pull/2481 I will be able to look into that in the next days :) I can already ask you to collect time to safepoints/GC pauses if possible ie -XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime. 2 minutes seems a too long period TBH, but worth taking a look if you rely on MAPPED journal and/or paging a lot, given that major page faulting can causes long stall similar to very long full GC, but TBH nothing so long (2 minutes is a lot!). As an additional suggestion you could run a Java program that just use one core and jmeasure the elapsed time between 2 consecutive nanoTime calls, recording in which wall-clock time a back-ward "drift" has happened to check if a broker shutdown has happened near the same time, makes sense?
