The system checks the direct memory usage of the Oozie service every 30 seconds. The alarm is generated when the direct memory usage of an Oozie instance exceeds the threshold (80% of the maximum memory). The alarm is cleared when the direct memory usage of Oozie is less than or equal to the threshold.

Procedure

Check direct memory usage.

  1. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose O&M > Alarm > Alarms > Oozie Direct Memory Usage Exceeds the Threshold > Location. Check the IP address of the instance involved in this alarm.
  2. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Oozie > Instance. Click the instance for which the alarm is generated to go to the page for the instance. Click the drop-down menu in the chart area and choose Customize > Memory > Oozie Direct Buffer Resource Percentage. Click OK.

  3. Check whether the used direct memory of Oozie reaches the threshold (the default value is 80% of the maximum direct memory) specified for Oozie.

    • If yes, go to 4.
    • If no, go to 6.

  4. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Oozie > Configurations. Click All Configurations. Search GC_OPTS in the search box. Increase the value of -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize as required, and click Save. Click OK.

    Suggestions on GC parameter settings for Oozie:

    You are advised to set the value of -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize to 1/4 of the value of -Xmx. For example, if -Xmx is set to 4 GB, -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize is set to 1024 MB. If -Xmx is set to 2 GB, -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize is set to 512 MB. It is recommended that the value of -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize be greater than or equal to 512 MB.

  5. Restart the affected services or instances and check whether the alarm is cleared.

    • If yes, no further action is required.
    • If no, go to 6.

Collect fault information.

  1. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose O&M > Log > Download.
