How to increase JVM current total memory

Hi Peter,

I changed the setting and saved it, stooped and restarted Yellowfin Service. Because you could see that the JVM Max Memory was updated to be 17.8 GB.

I have installed Yellowfin as windows service, not sure "full" means.

Hi Nancy,

While the amount of memory available to Java has been increased, it most likely hasn't been modified in Yellowfin!

Please change the XMX settings for Yellowfin.

We have a handy guide here:

Please let us know how you get on!

Hi Peter,

We did follow the documentation to do the setup, and that is the reason the Max shows correct info. We just want to make sure we could use 100% of the memory we setup for our dashboard, which means the JVM current memory to be close to JVM max memory.

Much appreciate if you would give me a call or setup a web session with us, because this request is quite urgent.

Hi Nancy,

You have done everything correct. the JVM memory system is a managed by Tomcat- It usually starts at 1Gb and will increase as it is used.

The value is 5% of max in that image with a max of 17Gb.

It will be fine to leave as it is going forwards! :)

Once you get more use or a heavy load on the system, you should see the memory used increasing.

Best regards,

Pete
