The Dell Boomi Core servers faced a performance outage due to a memory leak, identified through yCrash's root cause analysis. An investigation revealed that a SQL query in scheduled jobs caused excessive data load, resulting in high memory pressure. Correcting the query restored normal performance and underscored the need for precise monitoring.
Garbage Collection (GC) logs are vital for optimizing application performance and troubleshooting memory issues. Restarting an application can overwrite old GC logs, hindering analysis. Solutions include appending timestamps to log filenames or enabling GC log rotation. Each method has advantages and drawbacks, necessitating careful management to ensure all logs are accessible for future analysis.
