Others have provided feedback about this question already on this thread

Nobody can tell you what those values should be in your environment.
Please see Savendu's reply for why not.

Is that a problem? If you give Tomcat (really your application) a
64MiB heap and it's using all of that heap, isn't that a good thing?
Memory exists to be used, not to be left empty.

Those settings are equivalent to Xms and Xmx values respectively.

Ideally you should put your app under load testing, measure heap usage and
after that you can set min/max heap. If you have lots of available RAM,
then you can bumped up  the max size by few gigs. But setting arbitrary
values without knowing the heap usage pattern can cause unwanted trouble.

We

are encountering issues where Tomcat is running on the higher end of the
maximum memory pool configuration after about 25 days of its last restart.
Thanks.


What problem(s) are you facing? Long pauses or crashes? Please look at the
GC log, if you are printing it already. Otherwise please use visualvm or
jconsole to get the memory usage details.

I assume that you're referring to the JVM arguments Xms and Xmx. There
isn't a tomcat-specific setting to control JVM memory allocations;
you'll need to read more about that in the java documentation of the
appropriate JVM, but it isn't much more to the arguments than what you
already stated. As far as 'appropriate values' goes, those are
subjective because everyone's application's have different memory
needs. You will have to do some load testing to determine how much
memory your application will need to function properly. If your
application is behavior abnormally and there are OutOfMemoryExceptions
occurring you can also analyze a heap dump from the event to determine
if you have an application problem causing memory issues, or if you
just need more memory.

Question - Tomcat Memory

2017-11-16 Thread Ramya Elineni 
The "Initial memory pool" and "maximum memory pool" are the two configurations 
under Tomcat. I couldn't find any detailed explanation of how Tomcat uses these 
settings. I request you to please provide me that informaiotn so that I can 
have the appropriate values set on a production environment. We are 
encountering issues where Tomcat is running on the higher end of the maximum 
memory pool configuration after about 25 days of its last restart. Thanks.
