Much of the memory use is not thread-specific. For example, Session objects that are held for sessions that don't currently have a request are not associated with any thread. So I think you will have problems checking why particular threads occupy more memory. Also... how do you know your monitoring system isn't giving false alarms? A garbage collector should only run when it needs to - when the JVM doesn't have enough free memory to satisfy the memory it expects to use before the GC completes. So I would expect free memory to decrease to a very low amount, then the GC will run and free memory will increase again. Are you sure you understand what your monitoring system is telling you, and once you know you understand it are you sure you want to respond to that particular alert? - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
