Off Heap memory increase (oomkiller issue)

Hello everybody,I hope my post is in the right place for my issue. If not, please tell me where to post at a better place.Issue : I noticed that the tomcat java process increases memory use to a point that eventually leads to a brutal kill by the kernel, actually the oomkiller. It is not an OutOfMem

oomkiller is probably killing alfresco as a result of other processes wanting alfresco's memory, rather than alfresco itself. You need to identify what else is causing the problem. And possibly add more memory to your system.

You can try alloting more RAM to JVM and observe the behavior

Willy you can override tomcat JVM parameters creating your own setenv.sh file to put in <CATALINA_HOME>/bin. Tomcat will look for it and override its default parameters. Try giving more RAM. <a href="http://www.tomcatexpert.com/ask-the-experts/configure-tomcat-memory-settings">This tutorial</a> should get your attention
