Hi All

We have one of our application with the  following settings

JVM :  jdk_7u40_x64  ( we are in process of migrating to latest Jdk 7 family )

-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
 -XX:+UseG1GC
 -XX:G1ReservePercent=40
 -XX:ConcGCThreads=14
 -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps
-XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution
 -XX:+PrintGCApplicationConcurrentTime
 -XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime
-XX:+PrintAdaptiveSizePolicy
-XX:+PrintHeapAtGC
 -XX:+PrintReferenceGC
-Xmx5120M
 -Xms5120M


>From our GC logs , we can see our application is going Full GC due to humongous allocation failure. But from the logs we can see

Could you please help me in giving your views on the following queries


1)      Humongus allocation request for 72 mb failed, from the logs we can also see we have free space of  around 3 GB. Does this means , our application is encountering high  amount of fragmentation ?.

2)      Does tunning the gc params to make sure Mixed GC happens more , will help in resolving such Full GC’s ?

3)      Is there –XX:Print* flag which can tell us how many old gen and humongous regions we have  (other than looking at  [G1 Ergonomics]  output , which sometimes gives old gen region count) ?

Please do let me know , if you need any more information. Appreciate your help.

Thanks and Regards
Prasanna
