[Dspace-tech] High CPU usage
Dear all, Lately we are encountering unusual high CPU usage of our repository which causes it to hang. Restarting the tomcat service usually resolved this problem. I created a batch file that monitors cpu usage and if it reached 100%, it will stop and start the tomcat service automatically. Looking at the dspace log I found the error below, I don't know if this is related at all to the high cpu usage. 2013-09-14 10:23:02,617 ERROR org.dspace.app.xmlui.cocoon.servlet.multipart.DSpaceMultipartFilter @ Problem in multipart filter.

Re: [Dspace-tech] High CPU usage
Hi Elvi, I can't tell you why your Tomcat is using 100% CPU, but I'm fairly sure that NullPointerException is not directly related to that. To find out the problem, you should use a Java profiler and find which function Tomcat spends most time in. One other potential source of this could be that you gave Tomcat too little memory and it spends a lot of time doing garbage collection. For other tips, also try a google search for "tomcat 100% cpu".
