Many users of this commynity have experienced a GC Overhead error in Tomcat. The main problem as consequence of it is that Tomcat stops working (does not handle http request anymore) and there is no other way that restart the Tomcat server.

The question is: - is it possible to keep Tomcat running after a GC Overhead event without restart it? Ok, the request generating the GC Overhead can be lost, but the further requests? They are no longer served until the restart of the server..

Or an alternative could be to restart automatically (or make the Tomcat process crash and close) after a GC Overhead event.

Is there a monitoring tool to check Tomcat responsiveness?

Thank you for any help.

Thank you but my question is a bit different than "what is a GC overhead error". I ask how keep Tomcat working after that the error above happens. – Armando Contestabile Jun 17 '19 at 13:10
The answers in the linked question cover that. – the8472 Jun 17 '19 at 19:46
"Increase memory size" is not an answer of my question. – Armando Contestabile Jun 20 '19 at 15:12
There is more than one answer, hence the plural. – the8472 Jun 20 '19 at 15:27
