I agree with Peter, we need more information. I will point out that we had a similar issue - during peak activity on our site, and it related to sessions being created faster than Tomcat could get rid of them (even though they were expired already). We used the "/manager/html" app that comes with Tomcat (you have to leave the '/manager' webapp installed) to view the number of sessions - and noticed that they were growing exponentially during our peak loads.
Also, if you are clustered, remember that your sessions are being replicated across all 4 Tomcats - so 1/4 of the load on each server will fill up the heap space as fast as 4X load on 1 server would... Check your heap size (-Xmx=? in your 'catalina.sh' or 'catalina.bat' file)... As Peter mentioned, that will be necessary to figure out what the problem is. -- Robin D.

Feel free to point us at the web page describing the alert's definition in the monitor. Sorry to ask for that lot, but different Java versions can handle GC very differently, and the options make a difference too. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
