Hi, We have upgraded RHEL 7.2 to RHEL 7.4. After upgrade when we are running performance testing of our application we are seeing below error in catalina.out.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread Exception in Catalina.out after upgrading to RHEL 7.4 Attached is the thread dump. We are using Tomcat 7.0.69. As per REDHAT we have increased tomcat5 user which used to run Tomcat process in /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf like below * soft nproc 4096 root soft nproc unlimited tomcat5 soft nproc 8192 All the processes are used by Tomcat. If we increase the value to 16K or 32K all threads are consumed and they are in Waiting(Parking) state.

After some time Tomcat getting stopped automatically. You may need the output of below from our setup. [root@iqsvtk05<mailto:root@iqsvtk05> ~]# rpm -qif /opt/coreservices/tomcat-7.0.69/logs/ Name : tomcat Version : 7.0.69 Release : AV10 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Fri 18 Aug 2017 01:41:54 AM MDT Group : System Environment/Daemons Size : 8468465 License : Apache License, Version 2.0 Signature : (none) Source RPM : tomcat-7.0.69-AV10.src.rpm Build Date : Fri 24 Jun 2016 01:59:37 AM MDT Build Host : puiqx3650dev03.apac.avaya.com Relocations : /usr/share Packager : Avaya, Inc. Vendor : Apache Software Foundation URL : http://tomcat.apache.org/ Summary : Core Services Apache Jakarta Servlet/JSP server Description : Servlet container for developing Web applications in Java. Used as basis for the Reference Implementation of the Servlet and JSP specificiations. This RPM mirrors the layout used by official Tomcat distributions on all other OSes and linux variants. If you want a FHS-based package - be warned that tomcat may not work very well. (TODO: add more warnings !). If you still want FHS-based package - please use jpackage.org or an RPM that is using the same exact layout. Can you please help on this. Regards, Radhika
