Description

I observed high memory and CPU usage after using Prometheus client jar and enabling "BW_PROMETHEUS_ENABLE" in the TIBCO BWCE application. the usage was much higher than with the option disabled on normal traffic and I tried the following:

  • Optimize the metrics as there is a very high label cardinality in the metrics.
  • Upgrade the Java Version
  • Add filtration logic to filter processes and activities that I need metrics for

However no change regarding the high resources usage.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the TIBCO BWCE application behavior with the Prometheus client jar and BW_PROMETHEUS_ENABLE enabled under normal traffic, comparing memory and CPU usage with the option disabled. Review the reported label cardinality and filtering attempts; done means identifying the cause of the resource increase and documenting a verified mitigation.
