Tim, full GC takes 8 seconds, not 8 minutes. Also, after full GC, large amount of memory is reclaimed (13G to <2G) :
2017-05-17T14:01:46.179+0530: 34205.488: [Full GC2017-05-17T14:01:46.179+0530: 34205.488: [CMS: 13039360K->1895795K(26214400K), 8.5260340 secs] 13578056K->1895795K(27158144K), [CMS Perm : 33865K->33826K(131072K)], 8.5261390 secs] [Times: user=8.87 sys=0.00, real=8.52 secs] Considering so much memory is freed up, do you think fragmentation would still be a cause for concern? I checked for size of few objects in histo report but couldn't find any object greater than 1.5KB. Haven't used JConsole, but from GC logs I see just one or 2 full GCs before broker becomes unresponsive. I'll also try by switching to G1GC and see if it makes any difference. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-broker-becomes-unresponsive-after-sometime-tp4725278p4726390.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
