ALM-43022 IndexServer2x Process GC Time Exceeds the Threshold

Description

The system checks the GC time of the IndexServer2x process every 60 seconds. This alarm is generated when the detected GC time exceeds the threshold (12 seconds) for three consecutive times. To change the threshold, choose O&M > Alarm > Thresholds > Name of the desired cluster > Spark2x > GC Time > Total GC time in milliseconds (IndexServer2x). This alarm is cleared when the IndexServer2x GC time is shorter than or equal to the threshold.

In MRS 3.3.0-LTS and later versions, the Spark2x component is renamed Spark, and the role names in the component are also changed. For example, IndexServer2x is changed to IndexServer. Refer to the descriptions and operations related to the component name and role names in the document based on your MRS version.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

Source

Specifies the cluster for which the alarm is generated.

ServiceName

Specifies the service for which the alarm is generated.

RoleName

Specifies the role for which the alarm is generated.

HostName

Specifies the host for which the alarm is generated.

Trigger Condition

Specifies the threshold for triggering the alarm.

Impact on the System

If the GC time exceeds the threshold, IndexServer2x may run in low performance or even unavailable.

Possible Causes

The heap memory of the IndexServer2x process is overused or the heap memory is inappropriately allocated. As a result, GC occurs frequently.

Procedure

Check the GC time.

  1. On FusionInsight Manager, choose O&M > Alarm > Alarms. In the displayed alarm list, choose the alarm with ID 43022, and check the RoleName in Location and confirm the IP address of HostName.
  2. On FusionInsight Manager, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Spark2x > Instance and click the IndexServer2x for which the alarm is generated to go to the Dashboard page. Click the drop-down menu in the Chart area and choose Customize > GC Time > Garbage Collection (GC) Time of IndexServer2x from the drop-down list box in the upper right corner and click OK to check whether the GC time is longer than the threshold (default value: 12 seconds).

    • If the threshold is reached, go to 3.
    • If the threshold is not reached, go to 6.

  3. On FusionInsight Manager, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Spark2x > Configurations > All Configurations > IndexServer2x > Default. The default value of the SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY is 4 GB. You can change the value according to the following rules: Increase the value of the SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY parameter 1.5 times to its default value. If this alarm is still generated occasionally after the adjustment, increase the value by 0.5 times. Double the value if the alarm is reported frequently.
  4. Restart all IndexServer2x instances.
  5. After 10 minutes, check whether the alarm is cleared.

    • If the alarm is cleared, no further action is required.
    • If the alarm is not cleared, go to 6.

Collect fault information.

  1. On FusionInsight Manager, choose O&M > Log > Download.
  2. Expand the Service drop-down list, and select Spark2x for the target cluster.
  3. Click in the upper right corner, and set Start Date and End Date for log collection to 10 minutes ahead of and after the alarm generation time respectively. Then, click Download.
  4. Contact the O&M personnel and provide the collected logs.

Alarm Clearing

After the fault is rectified, the system automatically clears this alarm.
