I am getting Out of Memory errors, how can I allocate more memory to FishEye?

Since the default memory setting usually is around 64MB or 128MB, you might have to adjust the settings to run a bigger FishEye instance with sufficient memory.

Out Of Memory Errors

There are a number of different memory errors that the JVM will throw. The most common are listed as follows.
In the following, you will be required to set your memory settings via your FISHEYE_OPTS Environment Variables.
You will need to restart your server after setting your FISHEYE_OPTS.

After having set the FISHEYE_OPTS and restarting your server, go to Administration > Sys Info/Support > System Info, and check your JVM Input Arguments to ensure that your server is picking up your FISHEYE_OPTS as expected.

OutOfMemoryError: Java Heap Space

To solve this error, you will need to add the argument -Xmx1024m to FISHEYE_OPTS, in addition to any argument you use to set the heap size. Often you need to increase the amount of memory allocated to fisheye during the initial scan and period and once this is completed you can reduce back down.

After having set the FISHEYE_OPTS and restarting your server, go to Administration > Sys Info/Support > System Info, and check your JVM Input Arguments to ensure that your server is picking up your FISHEYE_OPTS as expected.

OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space, or Permanent Generation Size

If you get the error message: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space this means that you have exceeded Java's fixed 64MB block for loading class files. You will need to add the argument -XX:MaxPermSize=256m to FISHEYE_OPTS, in addition to any argument you use to set the heap size.

After having set the FISHEYE_OPTS and restarting your server, go to Administration > Sys Info/Support > System Info, and check your JVM Input Arguments to ensure that your server is picking up your FISHEYE_OPTS as expected.

OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread

This error occurs when the operating system is unable to create new threads. This is due to the JVM Heap taking up the available RAM.

Big heaps take away from the space that can be allocated for the stack of a new thread

For Linux the maximum heap size of the JVM cannot be greater than 2GB. If you only have 2GB RAM in your server, it is not recommended to set the Max size of the JVM that high.
The size of the stack per thread can also contribute to this problem. The stack size can reduce the number of threads that can be created.

To fix this problem, you should reduce the size of your JVM Heap and also the size of the stack per thread.
The stack size can be changed with the following (example) parameter being added to your FISHEYE_OPTS:

Please refer to this guide as a reference for JVM tuning.

After having set the FISHEYE_OPTS and restarting your server, go to Administration > Sys Info/Support > System Info, and check your JVM Input Arguments to ensure that your server is picking up your FISHEYE_OPTS as expected.

OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

This error indicates that the JVM took too long to free up memory during its GC process. This error can be thrown from the Parallel or Concurrent collectors.

The parallel collector will throw an OutOfMemoryError if too much time is being spent in garbage collection: if more than 98% of the total time is spent in garbage collection and less than 2% of the heap is recovered, an OutOfMemoryError will be thrown. This feature is designed to prevent applications from running for an extended period of time while making little or no progress because the heap is too small. If necessary, this feature can be disabled by adding the option -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit to the command line.

This kind of OutOfMemoryError can be caused if your java process is starting to use swapped memory for its heap. This will cause the JVM to take a lot longer than normal to perform normal GC operations. This can eventually cause a timeout to occur and cause this error.

To overcome this issue, you need to make sure that all processes can't allocate more memory than there is system memory. In practice this is impossible to do for all processes. At a minimum you should make sure that all your jvm's do not have a total maximum memory allocation than your normally available system memory.

Please refer to this guide for more information.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 32756 bytes for ChunkPool::allocate. Out of swap space?

Essentially the native objects does not have enough memory to use. This is usually because you have allocated too much memory to your heap reducing the amount available for native objects. See this article.

The solution is to reduce the amount of heap memory you have allocated. For example if you have set -Xmx4096, you should consider reducing this to -Xmx2048m.

Remember if you are using a 32bit JVM you cannot allocate more than -Xmx2048m for linux (and even less for windows). Using a 64 bit JVM can resolve this problem, but is not recommended for fisheye/crucible instances (refer to System Requirements).
