Zach,

What version of Java, ArchivesSpace, and OS are you on?  We were seeing the same issues, but after upgrading to Java 8 (on CentOS 6 w/4GB RAM) with AS 2.5.0, it has been well-behaved.

Hope that helps (and that I didn't just jinx us),
Jason

Hey all,

We’re having issue with our installation and I’m trying to narrow down what the problem is. After the application starts, it runs smoothly. After s few days, maybe a week, it slows to a crawl, frequently throwing 502 errors. I forgot to grab the logs before resetting, but I’ll be sure to check them next time it happens.

I have set the java heap space to 2500mb on a server with 4gb total memory. Running top command when the server was slow showed a constant 100% CPU usage and ~80% memory usage. After resetting, it shows 1-20% CPU usage and ~38% memory usage.

I have a feeling that  it may be time to upgrade to a more powerful server but I want to rule out any application-related issues before making that leap.
