Monitored application runs out of native memory or crashes

Information about running the Health Center in a lower computer resource usage mode.

The Health Center provides a mode for lower computer resource usage which you enable by adding the option level=low to the Health Center command line. Alternatively, the healthcenter.properties file, as found in $JAVA_HOME/lib, can be edited and the com.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.data.collection.level property changed from full to low.

On systems with many processors, and where the monitored application has deep stack traces, the Health Center agent can sometimes consume unacceptable amounts of native memory. On certain Virtual Machine (VM) levels, this consumption could cause a failure in the VM. Configuring the Health Center for lower resource usage might help prevent problems.

For more information about reducing resource usage during data collection, see Controlling the amount of data generated.
