I am doing memory profiling using yourkit.



I see the old gen memory first increases from 200MB to 490MB. Then It suddenly came down to 250MB again.



In between that the full GC never ran. It was always the youngGC run.



My questions is, if full GC didnt happen, how the old gen memory got reduced?



Also, the GC time is increasing. In last 12 hours it increased from 50ms to 150ms.



Here are the GC config:



Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -XX:ConcGCThreads=4 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:CICompilerCount=4 -Xmx512M -Dio.netty.eventLoopThreads=4
-XX:CICompilerCount=4 -XX:ConcGCThreads=4 -XX:InitialHeapSize=536870912 -XX:MaxHeapSize=536870912 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags -XX:+UseCompressedClassPointers -XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+UseParallelGC
NOTE: the traffic to the application was consistent.
