[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Server leaking resources? Slows after running a while.

[Zachary L Pelli]

Hey Blake,

Our server is running Java 1.7.0_181 on RHEL 7.4. 

Sadly the log was overwritten when AS was restarted. Silly mistake on my part. I'll catch it when it inevitably happens again.

Thanks for the reply.

Regards,
Zach

Hey Zach,
It's kind of hard to say what happened, seeing some errors in the logs would probably answer that.
It's not a bad idea to give it some more memory, though if it's not a very large/busy site, 2 gigs should probably be enough.
Is this a Windows server?

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.
