Level: Critical

Purpose: Notifies that the Java Heap for the application has reached a critical size. This signifies that the application might failover soon.

Scenario: The Java heap is the area of memory used to store objects instantiated by applications running on the JVM. If a lot of objects are being held in memory the the application might run out of heap - could occur during a heavy task such as report export etc.

Resolution: The heap goes below 95%.

Manual Action Steps: Monitor the state of the application and other JVM metrics. If this does not resolve itself after some time or if the application starts behaving strangely a restart will be required.

Auto Clear: Yes
