JVM_GC_Pause_Critical  
Situation Description
Suggested Actions
Situation Description

Critical threshold exceeded for Garbage Collection Pause Time

 

Possible Causes
  1. Garbage Collections are taking too long.
  2. Too many garbage collections.
  3. Insufficient Java heap.

 

Suggested Actions

The JVM is taking too long to perform Garbage Collections. Check the Garbage Collection detail and history panels for Global Garbage Collections. This could be because the maximum heap size is too small. Check the value of the -mx java command line option which sets the maximum heap size. If it is already set as high as possible, then it could indicate that the application has a memory leak.
