ALM-45336 Presto Worker2 Process GC Time Exceeds the Threshold

Alarm Description

The system collects the garbage collection (GC) time of the Presto worker2 process every 30 seconds. This alarm is generated when the GC time exceeds the threshold (exceeds 5 seconds for three consecutive times). This alarm is cleared when the GC time of the worker2 process is less than or equal to the threshold.

RoleName	Specifies the role for which the alarm was generated.

Impact on the System

If the GC time of the worker2 process is too long, the worker2 process performance will be adversely affected, and the worker2 process will even become unavailable.

Possible Causes

The heap memory of the worker2 process is overused or inappropriately allocated, causing frequent occurrence of the GC process.
