Jetty process killed

Posted on January 16, 2013

Hi I’m running Jetty on 8080 and I’ve noticed in the past two days that the process apparently have died twice. I’m wondering if there is any “auto-kill” process running on the instances?

Apparently it was running out of memory. A quick fix java -Xmx64m

Sounds right. <br> <br>Also be mindful that even with constant utilization if a process doesn’t have absolutely perfect garbage collection its RAM utilization will creep up over time, which is often why there will be a master daemon that launches children so that they could be routinely cleaned out.

Talking to DO support, it seems like the dropplets don’t have any swap partition set up by default. Setting up some swap space on our droplet appeared to solve this problem for us.
