Performing garbage collection
About this task
Perform garbage collection (GC) using the Perform GC option in Nodes administration of OpsCenter monitoring. Performing GC forces the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on the selected node to perform garbage collection.
|
The Perform GC option in OpsCenter is not the same as the nodetool garbagecollect command. |
Prerequisites
If OpsCenter role-based security is enabled, be sure that the permission for the Garbage Collection option in Node Operations is enabled for the appropriate user roles.
