Can someone pls tell me whats wrong here ?
Server is crashing 3 time in 10 minutes. We have very basic chat functionality minus chat rooms,file transfer with 4-5 concurrent users. Then also it is giving so poor performance.

Dear shashankaholic,

From this graph I'd say that your server needs a bit more memory to work with. Perhaps you can configure it to use (say) 512MB to see if that improves your situation?

You can use Java's -Xmx flag to set the limit of the heap memory pool.

Hi Kees Jan.

What would be a safe heap size for a departmental OpenFire setup? (say 40 people using it, no weird plugins)

We had ours crash today with an out of heap and it runs with -Xmx512m

Dear Barry,

Well, you can always install the Java-monitor plugin for Openfire and tell for yourself.

From what little I know from Openfire it is quite memory hungry. Also you need to keep a eye on the permgen. The user ID's are interned for locking purposes, so Openfire leans on the string pool quick hard.

What exact exception do you get?

You need to allocate more memory to the java heap. Approx. 512mb up to 968mb should be enough. (In case of 40 registered and active people).
