Pierre Villard resolved NIFI-6488.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Feedback Received
Apache NiFi 1.x is no longer maintained and no new release is planned on the
1.x release line. Marking as resolved as part of a cleanup operation. Please
open a new one with an updated description if this is still relevant for NiFi
2.x.
> NiFi web interface often non-responsive

> Key: NIFI-6488
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6488
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.9.2
> Environment: centos 7
> Reporter: David Sargrad
> Priority: Major

>
> I have been using NiFi for close to a year. Currently most of my experience
> has been with building custom processors and prototyping a variety of flows.
>
> Often the NiFi web interface becomes non-responsive. Its typically during a
> flow integration phase, where I leave flowfiles sitting in queues, sometimes
> 3 or 4 queues may be maxed at 10,000 flow files. These are relatively small
> flowfiles (perhaps 200 or 300 bytes). Yet, of course, the sum total of the
> filled queues is in the tens of megabytes.
>
> I am guessing that the JVM is nearing, or perhaps has exceeded, its maximum
> allocated heap size. I'd think that NiFi protects against non-responsive UI's
> by shedding load, presenting a warning, or doing something to preserve its
> operational state.
>
> What is the best way for me to isolate this issue? I'd like to understand
> exactly what drives NiFi to be non-responsive. If there is anything that I
> can do to isolate this, and to help the NiFi team make this more robust, I'm
> glad to dig.
>
> Its been impossible for me to exactly characterize the conditions that lead
> to a non-responsive NiFi UI. However I see this fairly frequently.
>
> I've updated the following picture. Since it did not seem to attach before.
> I've also added a view of the memory and CPU consumption. In this particular
> case I waited for about 30 seconds and eventually the NiFi user interface
> came to life.
