ALM-43008 The Direct Memory Usage of the JobHistory2x Process Exceeds the Threshold

Description

The system checks the JobHistory2x Process status every 30 seconds. The alarm is generated when the direct memory usage of a JobHistory2x Process exceeds the threshold (95% of the maximum memory).

Attribute

Alarm ID	Alarm Severity	Auto Clear
43008	Major	Yes

Parameters

Name	Meaning
Source	Specifies the cluster for which the alarm is generated.
ServiceName	Specifies the service name for which the alarm is generated.
RoleName	Specifies the role name for which the alarm is generated.
HostName	Specifies the object (host ID) 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

If the available JobHistory2x Process direct memory is insufficient, a memory overflow occurs and the service breaks down.

Possible Causes

The direct memory of the JobHistory2x Process is overused or the direct memory is inappropriately allocated.

Procedure

Check direct memory usage.

On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose O&M > Alarm > Alarms and select the alarm whose ID is 43008. Check the RoleName in Location and confirm the IP address of HostName.
On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Spark2x > Instance and click the JobHistory2x for which the alarm is generated to go to the Dashboard page. Click the drop-down menu in the Chart area and choose Customize > Memory > JobHistory2x Memory Usage Statistics from the drop-down list box in the upper right corner and click OK. Check whether the used direct memory of the JobHistory2x Process reaches the threshold(default value is 95%) of the maximum direct memory specified for JobHistory2x.
- If yes, go to 3.
- If no, go to 7.
On the FusionInsight Manager home page, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Spark2x > Instance. Click JobHistory2x by which the alarm is reported to go to the Dashboard page, click the drop-down list in the upper right corner of the chart area, choose Customize > Memory > Direct Memory of JobHistory2x, and click OK. Based on the alarm generation time, check the values of the used direc memory of the JobHistory2x process in the corresponding period and obtain the maximum value.
On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > Spark2x > Configurations, and click All Configurations. Choose JobHistory2x > Default. The default value of -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize in SPARK_DAEMON_JAVA_OPTS is 512 MB. You can change the value according to the following rules: Ratio of the maximum direct memory usage of the JobHistory2x to the Threshold of the JobHistory2x Direct Memory Usage Statistics (JobHistory2x) in the alarm period. If this alarm is generated occasionally after the parameter value is adjusted, increase the value by 0.5 times. If the alarm is frequently reported after the parameter value is adjusted, increase the value by 1 time. It is recommended that the value be less than or equal to the value of SPARK_DAEMON_MEMORY.

On the FusionInsight Manager home page, choose O&M > Alarm > Thresholds > Name of the desired cluster > Spark2x > Memory >JobHistory2x Direct Memory Usage Statistics (JobHistory2x) to view Threshold.
Restart all JobHistory2x instances.
After 10 minutes, check whether the alarm is cleared.
- If yes, no further action is required.
- If no, go to 7.

Collect fault information.

On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose O&M > Log > Download.
Select Spark2x in the required cluster from the Service.
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.
