My system's very small - approx 20 users and very little content at present. It's for a small collaborative research group which may grew to ~100 members. I expect quite a few largish attachments and have already configured filesystem attachments. Sounds quite reasonable. Limited memory?

Hi Bryn, There are some information that I’ve put at  http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Monitoring to monitor XWiki instances. JavaMelody is quite great for that but it won’t send you alerts. Make sure to check the tools at the end in the Others section too. There’s the

Btw, I am not sure you could say the XWiki installs are that pesky. However, depending on the user base, it may really need quite some tuning. For example, if your xwiki manipulates complex documents the document cache may be too big for the memory, and that you only reach with some time (it

BTW if you have setup some tools and have had successes with them to monitor xwiki instances, it would be great if you could add some doc about them at  http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Monitoring Thanks! -Vincent On 2 Nov 2014 at 12:20:34, vinc...@massol.net

Bryn, without JMX, straight and simple console output and thread-dump based… that's what the monitor-sample tool was doing, it has a potential to answer the back-end of that (e.g. DB-queries). In particular, it is the only one that can express the query being hanging and this is exactly what

Having made my XWiki site available to other users, I was concerned to find that the site became unusable at one point with client connections eventually timing out. I had no way to diagnose the problem, but eventually I managed to make a (slow) SSH connection to the server and restarted
