Hi all,

I just want to give you an update about my problem

THANKS TO ALL 

Felix gave me the final hint... I really had some connection not given back to 
the pool, so the connections kept open.. - :-( I thought I checked that.

Since I fixed that and use removeAbandoned there was no more crash!!! Finally.. 
:-)

I REALY appreciate your help. You guys are doing a really GREAT job!


Thanks again..


David Kumar
Hi Felix,


1. You are abandoning db connections and thus are draining the pool 
 (most likely in my eyes)
2. The pool is too small (unlikely, since no work seems to be done other 
than waiting for new connections)
3. Lock contention while going through borrowObject (unlikely, since no 
thread is doing a validation)

So I would configure 'logAbandoned=true' and even 
'removeAbandoned=true' and 'removeAbandonedTimeout=60' as stated on 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html.

When your pool is getting drained, you will see a message in your log 
files, where you have taken connections out of the pool, but haven used 
them for a while. Than you can start to look for places, where those 
connections might have leaked.

thanks for that hint, I will have a look at all of my databasepools..
Hopefully you're right and that is our problem..


thanks

Interesting.

If the problem was too many sockets in CLOSE_WAIT, consider looking at
the connectionLinger setting on your AJP connector's in Tomcat.

Mark

Mhh.. I haven't heard about the options before.. But it sound like a great 
idea.. Default is -1. So what would be a good time, one minute?

AW:AJP suddenly Stopps acting: ajp on 7009 and 9009 : connections keept open

2013-03-15 Thread David Kumar

hey,
Yes.  Whether this is the java that runs tomcat is not immediately evident.
But it also seems that they concern port numbers like 7009, 9009 etc. which 
must be your 
AJP Connectors, so let's assume the CLOSE-WAITs all involve Tomcat.

The first observation hat I would make is that this looks like a pretty busy 
system.

Then, there are 2100+ lines in that list. Let's assume first that they are 
all internal 
connections (which probable they are not, but for simplicity), so that there 
are actually 
2 lines for the same connection, like these :

tcp0  0 127.0.0.1:39872 127.0.0.1:7009  FIN_WAIT2 
20766/apache2
. ..
tcp6   1  0 127.0.0.1:7009  127.0.0.1:39872 
CLOSE_WAIT  20564/java 

..

So let's say that we have in total about 1000 connections active in some 
state.
Compared to that, there are 54 connections in CLOSE_WAIT, which is like 5%.
That does not really sound pathological to me, considering that CLOSE_WAIT 
is a normal 
state through which any TCP connection goes at some point.

If you look again at the above connection, and if I am not confusing my 
clients and 
servers again, it looks here like :
- Apache http (PID 20766), as a client, has established a connection to port 
7009 of the 
server Tomcat (PID 20564). That must be an AJP connection, from the mod_jk 
module of 
Apache, to the AJP Connector in Tomcat.
- A while later, Apache closes the connection. It sends a FIN packet to 
Tomcat, and 
waits for Tomcat to acknowledge this FIN packet.
- when it receives the FIN packet from Apache, Tomcat responds with an ACK, 
and then goes 
to the CLOSE_WAIT state.
- when Apache receives the ACK from Tomcat, it goes to state FIN_WAIT2.
   (and that is the current state of the above connection)
- now Tomcat is supposed to send a FIN to Apache, and receive an ACK in 
return.
- if Apache receives the FIN from Tomcat, it sends back an ACK, and goes into 
state 
TIME_WAIT (where it doesn't expect anything anymore), and then after a short 
moment, it 
discards that connection.

If there are connections that remain in the CLOSE_WAIT state for very long, 
it means that 
something in the last 2 steps above is not working.

Now in your listing, we see about 1900 lines in the TIME_WAIT state, all of 
them *to* an 
AJP port of Tomcat.  This seems to suggest that the Apache side is working as 
it should.
But if the Tomcat side stays in CLOSE_WAIT for a long time, then it would 
suggest that on 
the Tomcat side, that connection is never properly close()'d.

But this is the request/response connection, so I doubt that there would be a 
bug there, 
otherwise we'd have problems reports filling this list every day.

Might there be that there is somewhere a discrepancy between the keep-alive 
settings, 
between Apache and Tomcat ?

or maybe your server is just not strong enough for the load you are putting 
on it ?

According to vmtools the server is boring most times.. 

I almost totally agree, but I'm not sure if it is a AJP fault. Because most 
time everything is alright, so all of theses steps are done. Just sometimes 
after a arbitrarily amount of time ajp / tomcat runs crazy. And in my sample 
there is the sourceport 9009 / java.  It looks for me that apache didn't 
received the ACK from tomcat after CLOSE_WAIT or it just don't care because 
apache thought this connections is already closed?  Let's assume that is the 
case.. Isn't there a option to tell tomcat to wait max. time for a response and 
after that time kill the connection? As far as I understand connectionTimeout 
is just for the initial request, so after Apache did answer in first correctly 
connectionTimeout is valueless?

Attached you can find our configuration files, maybe you can find a / some 
misconfigurations?

I would agree that we have maybe a kind of misconfigured timeout problem...


thanks

Hey André,

 According to vmtools the server is boring most times.. 

What do you mean, boring ? (like German langweilig ?).
-- Jep prety idle.. :-)
If you have 2000+ connections there in one state or another, that should mean 
that the 
system is usually pretty busy, I would think.  On my production machines  
(vSphere VM's, 
Linux, Apache+Tomcat, +database), some of them pretty busy, I never see more 
than 200-300 
connections with netstat. That is all states together, with netstat -t -pan 
| wc -l).
Granted, I am not running Yahoo or Facebook, but still, these are public 
Internet servers, 
fairly sollicited. 
 
 I almost totally agree, but I'm not sure if it is a AJP fault. Because most 
 time everything is alright, so all of theses steps are done. Just sometimes

 and after that time kill the connection? As far as I understand 
 connectionTimeout is just for the initial request, so after Apache did 
 answer in first correctly connectionTimeout is valueless?
 
Let's look at the various options in the Connector :

First, the -1 in some options means unlimited or forever, it doesn't 
mean disabled.
Second, some parameters say that if they are not specified, they default to 
the value of 
another parameter, so you should check really what this other parameter is 
set to.

According to Tomcat Configuration Reference 5.5 :

connectionLinger

The number of milliseconds during which the sockets used by this Connector will 
linger when they are closed. The default value is -1 (socket linger is 
disabled).

According to Tomcat Configuration Reference 7.0.37 :

connectionLinger

The number of seconds during which the sockets used by this Connector will 
linger when they are closed. If not specified, the JVM default will be used.

As I'm at 7.0.37 I have to figure out where an how to set linger options at the 
JVM.


 I'll have a look.

thx

Some notes :

- according to the comments in your Apache config file, you are using the 
worker MPM. 
But are you sure ? what does /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -l say ?

Compiled in modules:
  core.c
  mod_log_config.c
  mod_logio.c
  worker.c
  http_core.c
  mod_so.c



- we are missing the contents of your /etc/apache2/workers.properties file
Sry didn't rename properties, see attached..

- we are missing the JkMounts or equivalent that you are doing from Apache to 
Tomcat.
Same to our default website

  related questions : you have 2 tomcats. Are you doing load-balancing ? or 
  are you just 
sending some URLs to tomcat1 and other to tomcat2 ?
We doing loadbalacning 
Are you proxying everything to the tomcats, or is the Apache httpd front-end 
serving some URLs on its own ? if so, what proportion ?
Everything goes to the tomcats
- how many hits per second/minute/hour (any of them, approx.) is your server 
handling ?
according to our logs yesterday between 8pm and 9pm we had 73667 hits together 
on both tomcats.
- you do not have any specific timeout parameters set in your Tomcat AJP 
Connectors,
  which is basically a good thing : better to leave the defaults in place, 
 than to start 
playing with settings that you do not really understand, and make things 
worse.

But you do set one :
connectionTimeout=20. Which sounds extremely high to me.

Re: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/ajp.html

It means that when a client connects to that Connector, a Tomcat thread will 
be started to 
handle this connection; then the thread will wait on the connection, to read 
the request.
If the request does not appear, this thread will still wait, up to 200 
seconds (more than 
3 minutes !) for this request to appear, before it gives up, closes that 
connection, and 
goes back to the pool of available threads.
A normal client would not do that, but a badly-intentioned client that tries 
to create a 
DOS attack on your server, will do that, just to block threads on your server 
until there 
are no more threads available.

In this case, it is even worse, because other parameters are using this same 
value as a 
default, like : keepAliveTimeout.

This one means that once one request has been processed by this Tomcat thread 
on that 
connection, the thread will not close this connection, but wait to see if any 
other 
request appears on that connection from the same client, within the timeout 
given.
In this case, because it defaults to connectionTimeout, the thread will wait 
more than 3 
minutes to see if there is another request. If the client (browser) does not 
send any 
additional request on that connection, you have a thread that is blocked 
doing nothing, 
for more than 3 minutes.

In this case, the client is in reality the mod_jk module under Apache.  So 
the settings of 
Apache and mod_jk will matter, and I cannot tell exactly at this point what 
will happen.
But if this was a HTTP Connector open to the external WWW world, what would 
certainly 
heppen is that you would run out of threads in Tomcat within a couple of 
minutes, and your 
server would stop accepting new requests.


Or to put this another way : if this was a HTTP connector open to the outside 
world, and I 
knew the address of your server, I could bring it down in 3 seconds, using 
the standard 
ab program that comes with Apache.

that is how our servers are connected together:

We have another Webserver (different server) connecting to our Apache - Proxy 
which is loadbalacning our two tomcats. (Apache and tomcat are together at on 
server)
I will go end reduce the timeout on both worker.properties and server.xml. What 
will be a value? 30 Seconds?

Thanks a lot..

2013-03-15 Thread David Kumar

close_wait for an AJP connection seen from Tomcat means the other side -
mod_jk - has closed the connection, but not Tomcat.

This is often due to a shorter Timeout on the mod_jk side than on the
Tomcat side. It is not a problem per se, but it is if it happens for too
many connections for a too long time.

I vaguely remember that you have a 10 second socket_timeout in your
workers.properties. That's typically bad. Look at the example config in
the source mod_jk download.

I will do that. 

It could be, that your requests in Tomcat got stuck and Tomcat still is
in the state of working on the requests, therefore keeping the
connection open to send back stuff finally, whereas mod_jk has already
timed out. To check for that, take a couöple of threa dumps (not: heap
dumps) of the running Tomcat process while the close_wait problem is
visible. Check what your Tomcat threads are currently doing, e.g. are
they mostly sitting idle in the thread pool or executor, or are many of
them deep in your application stacks and waiting for database, locks or
other stuff.

I try to, currently we have a watchdog running, checking every 2 minutes if 
the tomcats are available at 7009/9009 and http. If one of the tomcats are not 
responding it will be restarted

Hey,


Please please before restarting take two thread dumps. On Linux/Unix a
kill -QUIT will do that (and write the result to STDOUT, which
depending on your setup likely goes to catalina.out). The QUIT signal
does *not* terminate the JVM, it just quickly writes out the stacks of
all threads. The interruption for the running JVM is minimal, so you can
already try how this works before the process gets into the critical state.

great I just tried a kill -QUIT in our watchdog -- pretty fast. Next time we 
got our problem  I will send the threaddump to you guys.

Hey André,


André Warnier wrote:

The jsvc process here is the wrapper which wraps the JVM and Tomcat to 
allow them to use 
orts below 1024 and still run as non-root.  For practical purposes, 
consider it as tomcat.

As you can see, there are some AJP connections (local port 8009) in the 
CLOSE_WAIT state 
also.  It is a normal state of a TCP connection.
What is less normal, is that they would remain in that state for a long time. 
 That means 
that one of the sides of the TCP connection is not doing what it should do.

In my experience, under Linux, this can become a problem if you have hundreds 
of these.
At some point, the TCP stack becomes unresponsive and does not allow any new 
connection.

Sometimes, it can happen because the client side in the connection (the one 
who 
initially creates the connection to a server's listening socket), discards 
a Java object 
which contains an open low-level OS socket object with a connection still 
open, without 
explicitly closing this connection first.
The discarded (and unreachable) Java object is then still sitting in the heap 
for a while, 
and only a GC will actually destroy it and as a side-effect close the 
underlying connection.

That is why I was asking you to force a GC, to see if this made your 
CLOSE_WAIT 
connections disappear.  Apparently in your case it doesn't, which mean that 
yours is 
another case.

Now, instead of restarting Tomcat or doing a GC, have you tried to restart 
Apache ?
or maybe just do a /etc/init.d/apache2 reload.  That may kill off and restart 
the Apache 
children processes, and clean up their mod_jk connections to Tomcat.

I tried to just restart the Apache, didn't work.  As suggested I tried to use 
the option -DisableReuse. That did make our situation a lot more horrible 
instead of days / week we it took just minutes to shut all AJP ports down.

Hey,

we just had that problem again. I did that GC trick, it didn't work out well. 
I used:

set hosts [list]
lappend hosts {localhost:7008}
lappend hosts {localhost:9008}
# ...add as many as you want...

foreach {host} $hosts {
  set parts [split $host :]
  set hostname [lindex $parts 0]
  set port [lindex $parts 1]

  # for each host...

  # Connect to it.
  jmx_connect -h $hostname -p $port

  # Invoke the garbage collector.
  jmx_invoke -n -m java.lang:type=Memory gc

  # Close this connection
  jmx_close
}

I found that while googleing.
But it doesn't have any effect. Any other ideas?


Thanks

 Hey,
 
 we are still having that issue. 
 But we could manage to figure out some more stuff.
 We made a Tomcat and Java update since that time we had our problem a few 
 times again, also we did some reconfiguration with connectors etc. 
 The last 2 times we where able to see, that both tomcat by them self where 
 alive. Just ajp on both where dead. We couldn't make a connection either 
 trough 7009 nor 9009. An with our openFiles trick we found a lot of 
 close_wait again,  e.g. 200 for 9009. I left the second tomcat on this state 
 for a few ours just to see, what happens. The count of 200 connection with 
 close_wait was kept until a reboot of the tomcat.

Instead of rebooting Tomcat, try to force the Tomcat JVM to do a Major Garbage 
Collection.
There are a number of tools that allow to do that.
One command-line one which I found practical is jmxsh, here :
http://code.google.com/p/jmxsh/

If when you do a Major GC, these CLOSE_WAIT connections disappear, you will 
have learned 
something about their origin.
And if then - without restarting Tomcat - you can connect again via the AJP 
ports, you'll 
have learned something else.

Go do it and report.


 I would say with some of our reconfiguration we managed to stop increasing 
 connections. But still we are not sure why our ajp connections dying..

 Betreff: AW: AW: AW: ajp on 7009 and 9009 : connections keept open
 
 Hey,
 
 last friday I changed our configuration to use a executor. 
 Here is what I did:
 
 Connector port=7009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=8443  
 maxThreads=200  executor=active-executor /
 Executor name=active-executor namePrefix=activeThread- maxThreads=200 
 minSpareThreads=30 maxIdleTime=6 /
 Connector port=7080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
connectionTimeout=2 
redirectPort=8443 executor=active-executor  /
 
 The second tomcat has same configuration besides ports..
 
 Until yesterday it worked like a charm. But at late afternoon one of the 
 tomcats failed again.. 
 
 I couldn't start the garbagecollection so far..
 
 Any other ideas?
 
 Thanks

Hey,


I'm really not sure if that tool does anything, because there is no feedback.. 
Funny: Just a few minutes ago a colleague showed ma a tool called something 
like VM monitor on his mac. It look a kind of similar to jconsole.exe. Next 
time I will try to make GC with this tool.
Meanwhile I reduced the connectionTimeout, reconfigured maxClients and added 
-DisableReuse to jkpropertys.

Lets see what happens...


Thanks a lot..

Did it really connect with the Tomcat JVM and really do anything ?
Is your JVM started with options that allow JMX interaction ?
Also, there are ways to start the JVM with parameters telling it to log the 
Garbage 
Collections to a logfile.  Make sure that you do that, and check the logfile to 
see if it 
really does a GC when you ask it to.

Note that there are also other ways to trogger a GC than using jmxsh.  I was 
only pointing 
you to that tool as an easy-to-script, non-GUI tool.
But in your java directory (at least the JDK/bin), there should also be a 
jconsole 
program which allows you to do pretty much the same interactively with a GUI.

Hey,

right no we're having our Problem.
I tried gc through jconsole -- no changes and still a lot CLOSE_WAIT.
So it is not a GC Problem and disablereuse doesn't work either..
Any other ideas?

What do you guy think about proxy_ajp instead of jk? What are the advantages of 
proxy_ajp?

AJP suddenly Stopps acting: ajp on 7009 and 9009 : connections keept open

2013-03-12 Thread David Kumar

Hey,

we are still having that issue. 
But we could manage to figure out some more stuff.
We made a Tomcat and Java update since that time we had our problem a few times 
again, also we did some reconfiguration with connectors etc. 
The last 2 times we where able to see, that both tomcat by them self where 
alive. Just ajp on both where dead. We couldn't make a connection either trough 
7009 nor 9009. An with our openFiles trick we found a lot of close_wait again,  
e.g. 200 for 9009. I left the second tomcat on this state for a few ours just 
to see, what happens. The count of 200 connection with close_wait was kept 
until a reboot of the tomcat.
I would say with some of our reconfiguration we managed to stop increasing 
connections. But still we are not sure why our ajp connections dying..

Here is our connector out of  Server.xml:

Connector port=9009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=9443 
maxThreads=200 connectionTimeout=60  /


worker.properties:

worker.tomcatX.host=localhost
worker.tomcatX.type=ajp13
worker.tomcatX.fail_on_status=404
worker.tomcatX.lbfactor=1
worker.tomcatX.ping_timeout=1000
worker.tomcatX.ping_mode=A
worker.tomcatX.socket_timeout=10
worker.tomcatX.connection_pool_timeout=600


worker.tomcat1.reference=worker.tomcatX
worker.tomcat1.port=7009

worker.tomcat2.reference=worker.tomcatX
worker.tomcat2.port=9009

worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=tomcat1,tomcat2

worker.status.type=status
 
Hopefully one of you guys can give us a hint to fix that problem.

 David,
   (and sorry for top-posting here)
 
 just to verify something.
 Can you trigger a Major Garbage Collection at the Tomcat JVM level, at a 
 moment when you 
 have all these connections in CLOSE_WAIT, and see if they disappear after the 
 GC ?
 
 If yes, it may give a good clue about where all these CLOSE_WAITs are coming 
 from.

2013-03-12 Thread David Kumar
Hey Mark,

thanks for reply.

I do have some more questions as the main configuration i not done by myself.
We are using Apache 2.2.16 on Debian. Therefore MaxRequestWorkers is called 
MaxClients, isn't it?

Currently it is set to 312. So if we have two tomcats with 200 thread each 
MaxClients is to low? I either should reduce the Thread at the connector or 
increase MaxClients?

We got the connection_pool_timeout from here:
https://community.jboss.org/wiki/OptimalModjk12Configuration

I will have a look on the other recommended options 

Thanks..

 maxThreads=200 connectionTimeout=60  /

Only 200 threads on the Tomcat side. If httpd's
MaxClients/MaxRequestWorkers is greater than 200 you may get thread
starvation in Tomcat.

 worker.properties:
 
 worker.tomcatX.host=localhost
 worker.tomcatX.type=ajp13
 worker.tomcatX.fail_on_status=404

That is a really bad idea. A single 404 and the entire Tomcat instance
gets taken out of the loadbalancer for 60 seconds. Hello DOS attack.

 worker.tomcatX.lbfactor=1
 worker.tomcatX.ping_timeout=1000
 worker.tomcatX.ping_mode=A
 worker.tomcatX.socket_timeout=10 
 worker.tomcatX.connection_pool_timeout=600

10 minutes is a long time to keep a persistent connection around. With
even a moderate load you'll easily get to 200 connections in a 10 minute
period.

 worker.tomcat1.reference=worker.tomcatX worker.tomcat1.port=7009
 worker.tomcat2.reference=worker.tomcatX worker.tomcat2.port=9009
 
 worker.loadbalancer.type=lb 
 worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=tomcat1,tomcat2
 
 worker.status.type=status
 
 Hopefully one of you guys can give us a hint to fix that problem.

Do one of the following:

1. Increase maxThreads in Tomcat's connector to  MaxRequestWorkers

2. Use JkOptions +DisableReuse (ignore the performance warnings)

3. Reduce the connection_pool_timeout

Instead of rebooting Tomcat, try to force the Tomcat JVM to do a Major Garbage 
Collection.
There are a number of tools that allow to do that.
One command-line one which I found practical is jmxsh, here :
http://code.google.com/p/jmxsh/

If when you do a Major GC, these CLOSE_WAIT connections disappear, you will 
have learned 
something about their origin.
And if then - without restarting Tomcat - you can connect again via the AJP 
ports, you'll 
have learned something else.

Go do it and report.


 I would say with some of our reconfiguration we managed to stop increasing 
 connections. But still we are not sure why our ajp connections dying..

 Betreff: AW: AW: AW: ajp on 7009 and 9009 : connections keept open
 
 Hey,
 
 last friday I changed our configuration to use a executor. 
 Here is what I did:
 
 Connector port=7009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=8443  
 maxThreads=200  executor=active-executor /
 Executor name=active-executor namePrefix=activeThread- maxThreads=200 
 minSpareThreads=30 maxIdleTime=6 /
 Connector port=7080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
connectionTimeout=2 
redirectPort=8443 executor=active-executor  /
 
 The second tomcat has same configuration besides ports..
 
 Until yesterday it worked like a charm. But at late afternoon one of the 
 tomcats failed again.. 
 
 I couldn't start the garbagecollection so far..
 
 Any other ideas?
 
 Thanks

 David,
   (and sorry for top-posting here)
 
 just to verify something.
 Can you trigger a Major Garbage Collection at the Tomcat JVM level, at a 
 moment when you 
 have all these connections in CLOSE_WAIT, and see if they disappear after the 
 GC ?
 
 If yes, it may give a good clue about where all these CLOSE_WAITs are coming 
 from.

 Hey,

 thanks for reply. I got that about the Apache configuration. Since we had 
 our problem yesterday, again and there was no error at the apache logs I'm 
 willing to say that is not the main problem and I have to check that, when 
 my main problem is solved.. :-)



 I agree with you about wrong reporting of service. Its just shown up as afs3 
 because these service uses 7009 per default. But I'm using 7009 and 9009 for 
 ajp.


 So doesn't this mean there is a connection problems between my Apache and 
 the tomcats?

 You're right, both Webapps doing the same and are configured identically 
 besides the ports.

 I'm using more than one database, but all of them are used through a 
 database pool. If there is a bug, I  think I should have found some error at 
 my logs like no free connection or something like that. As there is no such 
 log entry I'm willing to say that my database connections processing like

like no free connection or something like that. As there is no such log entry 
I'm willing to say that my database connections processing like they should. 

Basically on each tomcat there are running two services. One is a axis2 
project. Our CRM is posting customer data to this webapp. This data will be 
persisted into a database. Depending on the information given by our CRM axis 
sends a email.

The second one is basically a cache for our websites. We have a PIM with all 
our product data. These app is gathering all the data from PIM and a CMS and is 
merging these information together so that the data can be displayed. 
All the mentioned data is hold in different cache objects. Also some 
communication with our ERP and some databases are made trough this app. 

The second app is a REST service. Information will be posted as POST or GET 
request to it. Most likely the responses are JSON Object. 

When ever one webApp is reloading (automatically or manually) itself, the 
result will be posted to the other tomcat/webapp as a serialized object, so the 
other on do not need to reload it self.

I can't say how many SMB files there are, it is depending on some other stuff 
so it is dynamic.

Attached you can find a printed list by lsof.

There you can see a really strange thing. Yesterday just tomcat2 had the 
problem with to many open files. A few days before it was just tomcat1 having 
this problem.

Now let my answer your question:

1. That is hard to say, I guess I have to do some more investigation on our 
logfiles.

2. / 3.  Here is my httpd.conf:
IfModule mpm_worker_module
ThreadLimit  25 
StartServers  2
MaxClients  150
MinSpareThreads  25
MaxSpareThreads  75 
ThreadsPerChild  25
MaxRequestsPerChild   4000
/IfModule

we are using worker  

And here are our tomcat connectors again:
tomcat1:

Connector port=7080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=8443 /
Connector executor=tomcatThreadPool
   port=7080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=8443 /
Connector port=8443 protocol=HTTP/1.1 SSLEnabled=true
   maxThreads=150 scheme=https secure=true
   clientAuth=false sslProtocol=TLS / Connector port=7009 
protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=8443 /

tomcat2:
Connector port=9080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=9443 /
Connector executor=tomcatThreadPool
   port=8080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=8443 /
Connector port=8443 protocol=HTTP/1.1 SSLEnabled=true
   maxThreads=150 scheme=https secure=true
   clientAuth=false sslProtocol=TLS / Connector port=9009 
protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=9443 /

as you can see we are using a executor...

You probably read my copy-paste error. I did copy some comments out of out 
server config -- Sry again.

4. we are using..
5. via a multipart message sending to the other tomcat.
6. I don't think so also because of that the connections are kept open on our 
ajp ports.

I know that CLOSE_WAIT means, waiting for connections to be closed, but 
wondering that it is not closing.. 


Thanks again

afs3-rmtsys: connections keept open

2013-01-16 Thread David Kumar
Hey,

my name is David an I'm working for a electronic consumer company in Germany we 
are selling and producing TV's, receiver, satellite dishes etc..


We got some serious trouble with our tomcats. Basically we using two 7.0.12 
tomcats on a single Debian 6.0. One is running on port 7090 and the other on 
9080. Time after time both tomcats are crashing. I found too many open files in 
tomcatlogfiles.
Both Servers are running with one user (TOMCAT).
After changing max open files for that particular user I was able to get more 
than 1024 open files. Currently I'm checking log files every few minutes. With 
lsof|grep tomcat|wc -l I'm counting the open files by user. Usually there are 
around 600-700 open files. But sometimes the count grows and we have more than 
1200 open files.
When ever the server does have so many open files I checked: lsof -u tomcat an 
figured out there are many connection waiting to be closed. The connections are 
looking like this:
 java22312 tomcat  153u  IPv61508517  0t0 TCP 
localhost:afs3-rmtsys-localhost:50127 (CLOSE_WAIT)
I googled a bit for afs3-rmtsys and figured out that the protocol seems to be a 
remote cache manager. But I couldn't find any more information.

Does anyone of you know what my problem might be?

Thanks!

AW: afs3-rmtsys: connections keept open

2013-01-16 Thread David Kumar
Hey,

thanks for replying..

I forgot to mention that we have a Apache being a loadbalancer in front of 
these two tomcats. The Apache uses port 8080.

Let me start with André Warnier:

Both of the tomcats are synchronising them self. The send some serialized 
objects via http to each other. And both of them getting some file from SMB 
shares. But I can't imagine that might be the problem?
I'm wondering why the tcp connections with state CLOSE_WAIT doesn't get 
closed. 

Here are the requested connectors

tomcat1:

Connector port=7080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=8443 /
Connector executor=tomcatThreadPool
   port=7080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=8443 /
Connector port=8443 protocol=HTTP/1.1 SSLEnabled=true
   maxThreads=150 scheme=https secure=true
   clientAuth=false sslProtocol=TLS /
Connector port=7009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=8443 /

tomcat2:
Connector port=9080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=9443 /
Connector executor=tomcatThreadPool
   port=8080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=8443 /
Connector port=8443 protocol=HTTP/1.1 SSLEnabled=true
   maxThreads=150 scheme=https secure=true
   clientAuth=false sslProtocol=TLS /
Connector port=9009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=9443 /


Yeah I'm sure its port 7090, as you can see above.. :-)
7009 is used by AJP!?

As I had to restart the server, I don't know who was the owner of that PID.
Right now we do have 2 or 3 of:
java9495 tomcat  201u  IPv61866645  0t0 TCP 
localhost:afs3-rmtsys-localhost:55116 (ESTABLISHED)

If I run ulimit -n with the tomcat user I get: 1024. But I did set the max open 
files at the startscript for each tomcat (init.d) with: 
ulimit -Hn 4096
ulimit -Sn 4096

And if I check the files for the current tomcat process (cat proc/9180/limits 
while 9180 is one of my tomcat PIDs) I get:
Max open files4096 4096 files

Thanks again..

 We got some serious trouble with our tomcats. Basically we using
 two 7.0.12 tomcats on a single Debian 6.0. One is running on port
 7090 and the other on 9080. Time after time both tomcats are
 crashing. I found too many open files in tomcatlogfiles.

Bummer.

 Both Servers are running with one user (TOMCAT).

Can you post the Connector parts of your server.xml files (from both
Tomcat configurations)?

Also, what does `ulimit -n` return from an otherwise unmodified shell
running as the user who owns Tomcat processes?

 After changing max open files for that particular user I was able
 to get more than 1024 open files. Currently I'm checking log files
 every few minutes. With lsof|grep tomcat|wc -l I'm counting the
 open files by user. Usually there are around 600-700 open files.
 But sometimes the count grows and we have more than 1200 open
 files.

You'll get file handled opened for both real files (like /tmp/foo,
etc.) and for socket connections. If you aren't careful, you can have
a configuration that will work for a while bit tip-over under load.

 When ever the server does have so many open files I checked: lsof
 -u tomcat an figured out there are many connection waiting to be
 closed. The connections are looking like this:
 
 java22312 tomcat  153u  IPv61508517  0t0
 TCP localhost:afs3-rmtsys-localhost:50127 (CLOSE_WAIT)

Are you sure your port is 7090 and not 7009? Is 22312 the right
process id for Tomcat? The well-known port number for the
afs3-rmtsys service is 7009. It would be odd, though, for your Java
process to be calling *out* from a port like that ... usually you get
a high-numbered port when making an outgoing connection. Who owns
localhost:50127 in that case?

2013-01-16 Thread David Kumar
Hey,

I changed the global filehandle as well. And executing ulimit with the tomcat 
starting Thread is working well. I yesterday I hab around 1600 connection 
before I rebooted both of them.

About Server config.
I did a mistake. some of the connector are just comments. I didn't see that 
yesterday when I was editing the files within a shell.

So here are the working connectors:
tomcat1:
Connector port=7080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=8443 /

Connector port=7009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=8443 /

tomcat2:
   Connector port=9080 protocol=HTTP/1.1 
   connectionTimeout=2 
   redirectPort=9443 /
Connector port=9009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=9443 /

thanks..

Is that a double-paste error? You have two connectors both with port=7080.

 / Connector port=9009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=9443

Weird: you have httpd-lb out front plus 4 connectors in each Tomcat?

Yes, you have port=7009 in one of your Connectors:

 IPv61866645  0t0 TCP

I'm willing to bet that the owner of port 55116 is httpd.

 If I run ulimit -n with the tomcat user I get: 1024. But I did set 
 the max open files at the startscript for each tomcat (init.d)
 with:
 
 ulimit -Hn 4096 ulimit -Sn 4096

That might not work unless the script is being run by root.

There might also be a global file handle limit as well. The real
question is why there are so many file handles being used. Do you
really need 4 connectors in each Tomcat?

AW: AW: afs3-rmtsys: connections keept open

2013-01-16 Thread David Kumar
Hey, 

some additional Information:
I just checked /var/logs/apache2/error.logs. And found following errors:

[Wed Jan 16 15:14:46 2013] [error] server is within MinSpareThreads of 
MaxClients, consider raising the MaxClients setting
[Wed Jan 16 15:14:56 2013] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider 
raising the MaxClients setting

Yesterday my problem occurred about the same time. I'm checking every five 
minutes how many open files there are:

count open files started: 01-16-2013_15:10:
Count:
775
count open files started: 01-16-2013_15:15:
Count:
1092

But maybe the afs3 connection causing the Apache error?

thanks
