Why is osfind showing "Out of Memory" error and the osagent is using very high CPU?

Problem:

• Product Version: VBE 5.2.1 Full
• Platform Version: ALL
• JDK Version: NA
• Compiler Version: NA
• Product Component: Osfind

Why is osfind showing "out of memory" error and the osagent is using very high cpu?

Resolution:

This is the expected behavior if a lot of objects are registered with the osagent. To resolve the osfind out of memory problem, the JVM's heap size could be increased while executing osfind, something like:

osfind -J-Xms128m -J-Xmx256m

The above command set the maximum heap size to 256MB and minimum heap size to 128MB. The heap size could be increased as needed.
