    Widlfly 10.1.0 final Memory Leak Suspect.

    sumeeth

      I have deployed my application on Wildfly 10.1.0 final, and after 1 hour of performance testing, the system goes extremely slow.

      I extracted a heapdump and analysed seems there is a memory leak suspect :

       

       

      8,443 instances of "io.undertow.server.session.InMemorySessionManager$SessionImpl", loaded by "org.jboss.modules.ModuleClassLoader @ 0x68050b0b8" occupy 2,946,969,904 (59.05%) bytes.

       

      Keywords

      org.jboss.modules.ModuleClassLoader @ 0x68050b0b8

      io.undertow.server.session.InMemorySessionManager$SessionImpl

       

       

      Can you please let me know if there is any fix for this issue? Seems there was a issue reported on it earlier via bug ID:

       

      https://issues.jboss.org/browse/UNDERTOW-657

       

      however this should be fixed in undertow version 1.3.18 but I have version 1.40.22 bundled in the Wildfly.

      Can you please guide?

          1.4.22 bundled in WildFly? how did you do that? replace the io.undertow.* modules? or in your application?

           

          in any case, best solution, would be to upgrade WildFly to newer version.

            Bundled 1.4.22 in the Wildfly modules.

            Upgrading Wildfly is not an option at this point unfortunately.

              Hi,

              It is very likely you are seeing the live sessions consuming memory. Which is perfectly normal situation.

               

              There is a configuration option in Wildfly to manage when a session will be timed out. Using this avoids large numbers of sessions hanging around.

               

              Try setting session-timeout in your web application web.xml

               

                  <session-config>

                      <session-timeout>CHANGE_ME</session-timeout>

                  </session-config>

               

              The default timeout is 30 minutes.

               

              Try reducing that to a smaller value than 30. Then try running your performance test again.

              What you are aiming for is a stable number of live sessions and stable server performance. You discovered the amount using a heapdump. To find the optimal number you might have to repeat the test with different values until you achieve acceptable performance over a long period of time.
