Tomcat server Performance imporvement required
Dear Team,
I am an application developer from TCS and working for PSEG (https://www.pseg.com).
You might have seen my queries which I forwarded on 12 Feb, 2015 for Tomcat server crashing issue. After that we have added some resources to the servers. Now we have two Tomcat6 servers each one is having 16GB of RAM and 8CUPS. All server are Linux 6.5 64 bit OS.
As per application architecture we have two Apache Proxy servers and two Tomcat servers. Also we have two loadbalancers, one for Proxy loadbalancing and another for Tomcat loadbalancing. So, when request comes that comes to proxy loadbalncer first then Apache Proxy server -> Tomcat loadbalancer -> Tomcat server.
Some days back on 19th and 23rd of March another incident occurs when server faced some issues again. This time none of the servers where crashed but for some highly used pages in the site, Apache proxy server started complaining Timeout which is 60 seconds. After googling we thought we could increase the Time out in Proxy but client don't accept that.
So we need some tuning parameters on Tomcat server for better performance. Below are some of the setting parameters from actual server. Ports are masked.
Initializing param:
JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M"
CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS} -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M"
Connector Initialization param:
<Connector port="XXXX" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
server=" "
secure="true"
redirectPort="YYYY"
maxThreads="512"/>
All other parameters are kept as default.
Also we did some load testing on the servers in Test environment and found that if we restart the Tomcat server it works absolutely fine but gradually performance decrease though the garbage collection happening and very little memory captured by "PS Old Gen'.
Is there any other parameters we can add in the servers to increase performance?
Thanks & Regards,
Subhro Paul

Under a 64-bit OS and a 64-bit JVM, as much as you want (taking into account the amount of
memory available on the host of course).
Whether that is efficient, is another matter entirely, and depends entirely on the
characteristics of your own systems and applications. (I am mentioning that to fend off
your probable next question, which could be along the lines of : what should I allocate in
my case ? Nobody else but you can answer that one, and you can answer that only after
monitoring your system while running your applications, over a period of time).
As to how this all works : search Google for "java jvm memory management" and read one of
the many introductions on the subject.
I find "Memory Management in the Java HotSpot™ Virtual Machine" (a PDF) to be a good one.
One more thing : on this forum, it is preferred that you do not "top post", and try to
keep the conversation in a logical order. See
http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html#tomcat-users
item #6.

Thanks Ameer for your reply.
What is the max value we can assign to heap space?

I'm not sure expanding your heap is going to help. If you aren't
getting OutOfMemoryError, then heap memory isn't your problem.

If you increase maxThreads, you will need more memory just for thread
stacks.
Your maxThreads should be adjusted based upon the amount of traffic
you need to be able to handle. If 512 threads is able to handle your
current workload, I don't see any reason to increase it.

The size of the heap and the number of threads available to process transactions may have
a relationship with eachother, but it is indirect, and you do not "have to" modify them in
parallel.
In other words :
- the maxThreads parameter specifies how many independent threads (think "agents") Tomcat
may start and have running at the same time, each one of them usually processing one HTTP
request from one client. It should be commensurate thus to how many HTTP requests you
expect your server to have to service simultaneously at any given moment in time.
Which itself is a factor of :
- how many new requests your server is expected to receive over a given period of time
- and how long each request takes on average to be serviced by your server
Suppose that you expect 1000 new requests to arrive within 1 second.
And suppose that it takes on average 0.5 s to service one request.
Then you would need approximately 500 threads to do the job.
(Because the 1st request would be allocated to the first thread, etc. And after 0.5 s, the
first thread would be free again, so it could handle the 501st request and so on).
Conversely, if it took on average 2 s to process one request, then you would need 2000
threads to handle the load (because after 1 s, 1000 threads would be busy for at least
another second, but 1000 new requests will arrive during that next second.)
- each of these threads will use some capacity in the Heap. So if you have 1000 possible
threads active at some moment, it is likely that this will use up more Heap capacity than
if you had only 500.
And finally, memory is not the only thing which each thread is using; it also uses CPU
time, and there is always a limit somewhere, depending on the total resources of your system.
As mentioned before, the only way to actually find out what is optimal for your system, is
to monitor what actually is happening during a normal workload.
If the size of the Heap is not comfortable enough for the number of threads running in
your application, the JVM will start performing more frequent Garbage Collections to free
space on the Heap more often. This in itself uses up some processing capacity and thus
slows down your server, which may have the result of increasing the number of threads
active, which may have the result of increasing the demand on memory in the Heap, etc..
A general remark : starting to play around with such parameters is a real waste of time,
if you do not at least have some real-world measurements to back up your changes.
There is no general rule, it all depends on your particular circumstances.

Memory options should go into CATALINA_OPTS only, not both.
If you are using a 64-bit JVM, it needs more memory than a 32-bit JVM
would need, as object pointers require more memory.

Dear Team,
Thanks for your replies.
We are going to increase the heap size of CATALINA to 4GB like CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS} -Xms4096M -Xmx4096M".
Is it required to increase the maxThread count also as we are increasing the heap size? As of now the this parameter is as below:
maxThreads="512"
Regards,
Subhro Paul

This time none of the servers where crashed but for some highly used pages in the site, Apache proxy server started complaining Timeout which is 60 seconds. After googling we thought we could increase the Time out in Proxy but client don't accept that.
