JIRA and Memory Usage

Question

Hello,

I have JIRA currently consuming about 700-1gig of memory. JIRA still crashed evey couple of days.

How should I change these so that JIRA will up all the time.

When I change parameters from

JvmMs = 1024

JvmMx=1024

Other combination:

JvmMs = 256

JvmMx=1024

-Dcatalina.base=C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\JIRA

-Dcatalina.home=C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\JIRA

-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\JIRA\endorsed

-Dmail.mime.decodeparameters=true

-Dorg.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl.LIMIT_BUFFER=true

-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\JIRA	emp

-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager

-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\JIRA\conf\logging.properties

-XX:MaxPermSize=512m (I have tried changing this too but it doesn't work)

... and please lower your MaxPermSize to 256mb

Seems that your problem is on the JVM native side.

Please check the version of the Java runtime. There are a couple of bugs you might hit on the JVM side. Specifically, please run your JVM with:

-XX:-DoEscapeAnalysis

since starting from version 6.u24 ORCL has done some "improvements"

This one has been fixed on u27.

# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 131080 bytes for Chunk::new
# Possible reasons:
#   The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
#   In 32 bit mode, the process size limit was hit
# Possible solutions:
#   Reduce memory load on the system
#   Increase physical memory or swap space
#   Check if swap backing store is full
#   Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
#   Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
#   Decrease number of Java threads
#   Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)
#   Set larger code cache with -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=
# This output file may be truncated or incomplete.
