I just discovered that my geoServer Tomcat 'work' directory seems to be overly large (6GB in one case). This is a fairly standard setup, with one difference - my layers (stored in PostGreSQL) are all very dynamic (data changes each minute) - which might or might not impact this. I primarily see this on my production servers, which have very high utilization, so it is likely tied to this.
The environment is Win 2012 R2 Tomcat 8.0.2x (21, 23, ...) Geoserver 2.8 WAR deploy Java 7 The work directory has grown to contain several gigabytes of files under the \work\Catalina\localhost\geoserver\wicket-filestore tree. This growth only seems to occur on the instance hosting geoServer (I have several others). The actual files created are all called 'pm-null'. So far, the closest info I have found that explains this is at http://forums.terracotta.org/forums/posts/list/4134.page Is there a similar issue with geoServer and 'lost sessions' leaving these files behind? Has anyone else seen this, and perhaps come up with a solution (other than a periodic stop, purge, restart)? This is leaving behind thousands of these files (at about 15kB each), plus even more directories. And FWIW - I suspect this is also leading to slower restarts of tomcat/geoserver - it seems to go back to normal after I clean these out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
