Typically, I look at heap activity (in Java, not just free memory from

Probably. Look for heap activity that looks like this: /\/\/\/\/\/\

~                                       __/
~                                   ___/
~                               ___/
When you start seeing this: __/

You have a problem!

Just because your threads are not being used too much doesn't mean there
aren't other problems lurking. Even with low thread utilization, a bad
heap graph can mean that you're just waiting around for an OOME.

Consider performing load tests and watching the numbers instead of just
watching a typical hour of a typical day. You need to plan for peak
load, not for average load.
