ALM-17004 Oozie Heap Memory Usage Exceeds the Threshold

Description

The system checks the heap memory usage of the Oozie service every 60 seconds. The alarm is generated when the heap memory usage of a Metadata instance exceeds the threshold (95% of the maximum memory). The alarm is cleared when the heap memory usage is less than the threshold.

Parameters

Name

Meaning

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 triggering the alarm. If the current indicator value exceeds this threshold, the alarm is generated.

Impact on the System

The heap memory overflow may cause a service breakdown.

Possible Causes

The heap memory of the Oozie instance is overused or the heap memory is inappropriately allocated.

Procedure

Check heap memory usage.

  1. On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose O&M > Alarm > Alarms > Oozie Heap 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 Heap Memory Resource Percentage. Click OK.

  3. Check whether the used heap memory of Oozie reaches the threshold (the default value is 95% of the maximum heap 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 > All Configurations. Set Search GC_OPTS in the search box. Increase the value of -Xmx as required, and click Save > OK.

    Suggestions on GC parameter settings for Oozie:

    You are advised to set -Xms and -Xmx to the same value to prevent adverse impact on performance when JVM dynamically adjusts the heap memory size.

  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.
  2. Select Oozie in the required cluster from the Service.
  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 send the collected logs.

Alarm Clearing

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