EDR: Aggregate sensor event queue is growing too large

EDR: Aggregate sensor event queue is growing too large

Environment

  • EDR Server: All versions
  • EDR Sensors: All Versions

Symptoms

  • WebUI console Server Dashboard shows Aggregate sensor event queue continuing to grow excessively larger.
  • Seeing these JVM GC messages orver 20% in /var/log/messages of one or moreEDR nodes
Feb 12 14:57:25 prn-cb06 cb-enterprised[4139]: cb.enterprise.tasks.server_health_monitor.indicators.garbage_collection - JVM GC for cb-datastore is at 203.7%. Current threshold is 20.0%

  • /var/log/cb/datastore/debug.log shows these WARNings:

Cause

SOLR may not have enough allocated memory. Try increasing JAVA memory like so on all the nodes:

Resolution

  1. For EDR Server versions 7.x see this article on how to allocate more RAM to both Datastore and SOLR JVM's: https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/EDR-Sensor-backlog-growing-with-many-503s-in-Ngi...  increase available Java memory on all nodes:. 
  2. For earlier 6.0-6.2.x EDR servers, increase available Java memory on all nodes: 
    1. Edit /etc/cb/solr5/solr.in.sh
    2. Change 0.40 to 0.60 as so: 
XMAX=`grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo | awk '{printf("%dM", 0.40*$2/1024)}'`
To 
XMAX=`grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo | awk '{printf("%dM", 0.60*$2/1024)}'`
  1. Then restart services:
/usr/share/cb/cbluster stop 
/usr/share/cb/cbcluster start

Additional Notes

Future upgrades of the server Server from 6.2.x will get an rpmnew file for the solr.in.sh.
