Managing persistent store space

Hi

I have a single instance of ActiveMQ v5.9 using persistent store and we are
constantly running out of space.
We use persistent messages with KahaDB and have 50gb store defined.
The queues directory only actually contains 26GB, but ActiveMQ admin says
"Store percent used 94", is that right?
Browsing the number of pending messages in queues, there is no way there is
26GB or 50GB worth of data!

I have noticed that we have lots of ActiveMQ.Advisory.Consumer.Queue.*
topics, which we don't use, but we use the advisoryWhenFull="true" in
conjuction with sendFailIfNoSpace="true" so that we get notified when
messages can't be queued. We also expire messages after 30 days, in hope
they will get deleted. If I disable advisory message am I going to lose
these two functions?

Any ideas?

Here are the relevant bits from our activemq.xml:
<bean id="store"
class="org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.KahaDBPersistenceAdapter" >
     <property name="directory" value="/opt/xyz/queues" />
     <property name="journalMaxFileLength" value="3145728" />
     <property name="checkpointInterval" value="5000" />
     <property name="cleanupInterval" value="5000" />
</bean>

<broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core" 
	useJmx="true" brokerName="localhost" dataDirectory="/opt/xyz/queues"
         persistenceAdapter="#store">
        <destinationPolicy>

                	<policyEntry topic=">">
					<deadLetterStrategy>
                        <sharedDeadLetterStrategy processExpired="false"/>
                	</deadLetterStrategy>
			</policyEntry>
			<policyEntry queue=">" cursorMemoryHighWaterMark="90" maxPageSize="10000"
queuePrefetch="10000" producerFlowControl="false" advisoryWhenFull="true">
            	<pendingQueuePolicy>
                	<storeCursor/>
            	</pendingQueuePolicy>
		</policyEntry>
              </policyEntries>
            </policyMap>
        </destinationPolicy>
          <systemUsage>
            <systemUsage sendFailIfNoSpace="true">
                <memoryUsage>
                    <memoryUsage limit = "8 gb"/>
                </memoryUsage>
                <storeUsage>
                    <storeUsage limit="50 gb" store="#store"/>
                </storeUsage>
                <tempUsage>
                    <tempUsage limit="10 gb"/>
                </tempUsage>

        </systemUsage>

                <discardingDLQBrokerPlugin dropAll="true"

        </plugins>

    </broker>

Re: Managing persistent store space

Posted by petrk <pk...@yahoo.com>.
Right I have managed to set up Multi kahaDB persistence adapter from inside
of the broker config:

    <bean id="mainStore"
class="org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.KahaDBPersistenceAdapter" >
       <property name="journalMaxFileLength" value="3145728" />
       <property name="checkpointInterval" value="5000" />
       <property name="cleanupInterval" value="5000" />
       <property name="directory" value="/opt/xyz/queues" /> 
    </bean>

    <bean id="otherStore"
class="org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.KahaDBPersistenceAdapter" >
       <property name="journalMaxFileLength" value="3145728" />
       <property name="checkpointInterval" value="5000" />
       <property name="cleanupInterval" value="5000" />
       <property name="directory" value="/opt/xyz/queues/Other" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="filteredMainStore"
class="org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.FilteredKahaDBPersistenceAdapter" >
       <property name="persistenceAdapter" ref="mainStore" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="filteredOtherStore"
class="org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.FilteredKahaDBPersistenceAdapter" >
       <property name="persistenceAdapter" ref="otherStore" />
       <property name="queue" value="Other*" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="store"
class="org.apache.activemq.store.kahadb.MultiKahaDBPersistenceAdapter" >
      <property name="directory" value="/opt/xyz/queues" />
      <property name="filteredPersistenceAdapters">
			 <list>
				<ref bean="filteredOtherStore" />
				<ref bean="filteredMainStore" />
			</list>
		</property>
   </bean>

However, the existing queues before the above persistance adapter changes
are no longer visible/don't exist. I need to be able to keep the existing
queues if changing to this MultiKahaDBPersistenceAdapter, is there any way
to do that?

when activeMQ starts up I can see the following log entry:

2014-10-01 16:16:35,840 | INFO  | Using Persistence Adapter:
MultiKahaDBPersistenceAdapter[C:\apache-activemq-5.9.0\bin\activemq-data\mKahaDB][KahaDBPersistenceAdapter[C:\opt\RaxStore\queues\StoreLogon\queue#3a#2f#2fStoreLogon#2a],

Re: Managing persistent store space

Posted by petrk <pk...@yahoo.com>.
I have one issue though, as per  Limiting disk store usage with Active MQ
<http://open-source-adventures.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/limiting-disk-store-usage-with-active.html>  
I need to explicitly specify a persistence adapter as a bean within the
configuration file and reference it from the broker and the storage
definition otherwise the store size gets ignored.

and apperars I can only specify Multi kahaDB persistence adapter from inside
of the broker config.

Has anyone tried to combine  Multi kahaDB persistence adapter whilst
specifying store usage?

Hi again,

as far as I understood (and believe I have observed it in our case) you 
can use wildcards
to qualify the kahadb instance. The instance with no destination 
qualification is the default
kahadb instance.

Best regards
Andreas

That is an interesting solution as we do have two streams of messages on our
queues, fast one with lots of data and a slow one with more smaller sized
messages.

Does anyone know if the kaha db adapter supports use of wildcards (i.e.
"OrdersForDevice*"), as we have dynamic queuenames. would something like
this work:

<persistenceAdapter>
    <mKahaDB directory="${activemq.base}/data/kahadb">
      <filteredPersistenceAdapters>
       <filteredKahaDB queue="OrdersForDevice*">
        <persistenceAdapter>
          <kahaDB />
        </persistenceAdapter>
       </filteredKahaDB>
       <filteredKahaDB>
        <persistenceAdapter>
          <kahaDB />
        </persistenceAdapter>
       </filteredKahaDB>
      </filteredPersistenceAdapters>
    </mKahaDB>
</persistenceAdapter>

Re: Managing persistent store space

Posted by Andreas Gies <an...@wayofquality.de>.
Hi

we had a similar issue in our ActiveMQ broker. The reason was that we 
had a topic that we use for guaranteed message delivery with message 
persistence and durable subscribers. Some durable subscribers might be 
offline and we spotted that even with a few MB worth of messages our 
persistent store was growing to an unexplainable size.

The reason underneath was that we were using one kahadb instance for ALL 
our messaging traffic. Since kahadb has a write only journal, the worst 
case would be that our messages waiting for delivery would be spread 
across journal files interleaved with all the other journal entries that 
refer to already processed messages.

Gary has written a very good blog entry that describes our problem 
nicely : 
http://blog.garytully.com/2011/11/activemq-multiple-kahadb-instances.html

At the end we are now running with a kahadb split in 3 parts. 2 parts 
serving a destination with occasinally offline consumers each and a 
third part handling "the normal" JMS use case.

That solved our store problem pretty well.

For reference this is the interesting part of our config:

<amq:persistenceAdapter>
           <amq:mKahaDB
             directory="amq/mkahadb"
             journalMaxFileLength="16m">

             <amq:filteredPersistenceAdapters>

               <amq:filteredKahaDB 
topic="our.occasianally.disconnected.topic">
                 <amq:persistenceAdapter>
                   <amq:kahaDB
                     directory="amq/kahadb/topic"
                     journalMaxFileLength="16m"
                   />
                 </amq:persistenceAdapter>
               </amq:filteredKahaDB>

               <amq:filteredKahaDB 
queue="our.occasionally.disconnected.queue">
                 <amq:persistenceAdapter>
                   <amq:kahaDB
                     directory="amq/kahadb/queue"
                     journalMaxFileLength="16m"
                   />
                 </amq:persistenceAdapter>
               </amq:filteredKahaDB>

               <amq:filteredKahaDB>
                 <amq:persistenceAdapter>
                   <amq:kahaDB
                     directory="amq/kahadb/default"
                     journalMaxFileLength="16m"
                   />
                 </amq:persistenceAdapter>
               </amq:filteredKahaDB>

             </amq:filteredPersistenceAdapters>

           </amq:mKahaDB>
         </amq:persistenceAdapter>
