You didn't say what type of hardware you're using, but 10 seconds of
(concurrent) GC activity it not particularly troubling to me. It seems a
bit on the long side, but if you're running on a single-processor 200MHz
machine, maybe it's simply necessary.

 Please let me know what are the logs you are looking for accordingly i
 will send.

Verbose GC will log to stderr, which generally goes to stdout.log on
*NIX. You never told us about your environment, so I can't really help
you, here.

Re: TOMCAT GC Issue

 Hello,

   I am new to the Tomcat Administration, I have some 4 production servers
 running Tomcat6.x with Jdk - To monitor all my applications like
 Apache,Tomcat and Mysql we are using OPmanager-Application manager tool.

   Intermediately i get GC critical alert. That means some times GC
 collection goes high and remains for more than 10 mins. Then it clears the
 Grabage. But this is happening recently checked all possible logs found
 nothing. This is not happening every time, Say like twice in a day...

 Could you give us a bit more information?
+ JDK version?
+ What memory and GC settings are set?
+ Does the alert coincide with high usage on the servers?
+ Does it happen on all servers equally?  If not, what factors differ
between the servers?
+ *Exactly* what condition causes the monitor to report the alert?  Feel
free to point us at the web page describing the alert's definition in the
monitor.

Sorry to ask for that lot, but different Java versions can handle GC very
differently, and the options make a difference too.

I agree with Peter, we need more information.

I will point out that we had a similar issue - during peak activity on our 
site, and it related to sessions being created faster than Tomcat could get rid 
of them (even though they were expired already). We used the /manager/html 
app that comes with Tomcat (you have to leave the '/manager' webapp installed) 
to view the number of sessions - and noticed that they were growing 
exponentially during our peak loads.

Also, if you are clustered, remember that your sessions are being replicated 
across all 4 Tomcats - so 1/4 of the load on each server will fill up the heap 
space as fast as 4X load on 1 server would...

Check your heap size (-Xmx=? in your 'catalina.sh' or 'catalina.bat' file)... 
As Peter mentioned, that will be necessary to figure out what the problem is.

I would enable verbose garbage collection to verify what your
instrumentation is telling you. You can enable verbose GC using this
command-line flag:

- -verbose:gc

or

- -XX:+PrintGCDetails and -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps

If you are able to post relevant portions of the GC log along with any
other information you provide, it will certainly be helpful.

A 10-minute-long GC run? That sounds disastrous.
