JVM Settings

Best practice recommendation: Set both sizes to 66% of total RAM (see Appliance Memory and CPU in the Installation, Deployment, and Upgrade Guide).

Although Filr can begin with the minimum and adjust up to the maximum as needed, the adjustment process is resource intensive and degrades system performance.

IMPORTANT:Values must end with g or m and cannot contain fractional values. For example, to set the JVM min heap size to 1.5 GB, specify 1536m.

  • JVM Min Heap Size: Increase or decrease as needed.

    Default: 12g

  • JVM Max Heap Size: Increase or decrease as needed.

    Default: 12g

  • Java Home: Informational only; cannot be changed.

  • Allow generation of a system dump on a user signal: Causes generation of a system dump in addition to a heap dump and java core dump at the time a dump is triggered on a user signal.

    This can be useful when troubleshooting issues with your Filr system. However, a system dump takes more time and the files consume more disk space than a heap dump or java core dump.
