Tomcat Handling close_waits

Hi,

We are experiencing a flood of close_waits in our server. Interestingly, all of the sessions stuck in close_waits are sourced from Amazon IP addresses. Our second server running the same setup (hardware spec, OS version, Tomcat version, etc.) and had almost the same session count and our application and Tomcat didn't go unresponsive.

Is there any tuneable parameter for the APR connector for Tomcat to close the stuck sessions, rather than waiting for the application?

Warm regards,

Norbert Elbanbuena

Not always.

See the table at the bottom of this page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/http.html#Connector_Compa
rison

The NIO and APR connectors are non-blocking while waiting for the
"next request", so if a client connects and never explicitly
disconnects, you can have a rising connection count without running
out of request-processing threads.

Try forcing a Java Garbage Collection in Tomcat, and check if these CLOSE_WAIT sockets are 
still there after that. If they are gone, you probably have a server application which 
leaves these sockets "dangling" and does not properly close them.

Other people on this list may be able to provide a simpler way to trigger a GC, but I used 
a script with "jmxsh", like this :

# gc_tomcat.jmxsh
# force the target JVM to do a GC, from the jmxsh shell
# invoke as :
# java -jar jmxsh.jar gc_tomcat.jmxsh
#
# In the following command, replace the port number (-p)
#	by the port which has been specified in the parameter :
#	-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=xxxxx
#	of the target Java JVM startup line
jmx_connect -h 127.0.0.1 -p (port) -U (userid) -P (password)
jmx_invoke -m java.lang:type=Memory gc
jmx_close

for jmxsh, see :
- https://github.com/davr/jmxsh
- http://isbyr.com/use-jmxsh-jmx-cli-tool-to-troubleshoot-remote-jmx-connection/

Hi Norbert,

The TCP socket states and timers are managed by the underlying OS and not by Tomcat. Can you paste a netstat -an result so I can see what you mean.
Also, is the client using HTTP 1.1 with keep-alive or not? What kind of traffic is this?

RE: Tomcat Handling close_waits

I also noticed that while server receives the connection requests, we are seeing multiple requests from the same sources. Some same source requests (FIN-WAIT) are all in state while other same sources requests are in other state (some in FIN-WAIT or close_wait and some Established). 

Why are we seeing multiple requests from the same source at the same time? Doesn't each socket request exhaust a thread on the application?

Hi,

We are experiencing a flood of close_waits in our server. Interestingly, all of the sessions stuck in close_waits are sourced from Amazon IP addresses. Our second server running the same setup (hardware spec, OS version, Tomcat version, etc.) and had almost the same session count and our application and Tomcat didn't go unresponsive.

Is there any tuneable parameter for the APR connector for Tomcat to close the stuck sessions, rather than waiting for the application?
