OutOfMemoryError in Openfire 3.7.1

Openfire Openfire Support

We got into OOME issue in our production environemnt.

The OOME issue is happening on the daily basis. We have setup JVM heap size to 1024 MB , i.e. -Xmx1024. We are running with about 1000+ concurrent users. The functioanlyty that openfire serves in our project is like -

  1. After every 1 min each user sends some information in XML format . Along with this XML data it also establishing its prescnce again.

All this user sends their packet to a single chatroom.

  1. So after every min openfire will get 1000+ packets simultanesoly from all users.

  2. We have a single consumer which is listening this chatroom and parsing the incoming packets.

  3. Also our user’s will always be connected to openfire , they never logout.

  4. This is casuing the openfire server to went OOME every day.

  5. We have a plan to run around 3000+ users in next week.

We analyzed the heap dump and its says like **writeRequestQueue inside MINA **is failing.

Also some internal cache queue of openfire is failing inside some cacheWrapper class.

TO fix this issue we have given following tries -

  1. Remove unused plugins including monitoring plugin , user search plugin.

  2. set the following property - cache.username2roster.maxlifetime=86400000 (1 day)

cache.username2roster.size=33554432 (32 MB)

  1. xmpp pep is already false

All this measures doesnt give us success. We are still getting OOME.

We have some question as well -

Question 1 - Can we directly compile the latest mina code in openfire, i,e, replace the existing code of mina in openfire.jar?

Question2 - Are their any properties that we are missing to set for our specific requuiremment?

Question3 - What is the best garbage collector settings?

Question4 - Are their any other cache setting need to add?

Please suggest some suitable solution for that. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Waiting for your quick response.

Thanks,
