I am using 5.5.0.Final.

Thanks.

Which version of drools?
Memory consumption improved a lot in 5.2 or 5.3 IIRC.

Thanks for the quick response.

I don't use entrypoints or windows in my rules.
I am using temporal constraints.
I can't retract the Log facts because I don't know whether other rules need them.

Maybe It's because there is no expiration set for Log. But I am not sure if I can.
(CorrelatedEvent has multiple expirations defined over the drl files)
I wrote this question two days ago and no one responded:

I have several drl files.
Each drl file contains one rule.
Each drl file is built to a knowledge package.
Each drl file contains declaration of the same fact (referencing to a imported class defined outside of the drl). The fact's role is of course event.

Can I define different expiration (@expires) for the fact in each drl?
Is expiration relevant only to the same drl?
Is the answer different if the fact is created in the rule's RHS (CorrelatedEvent) or if it inserted to the session's working memory outside of the drl (Log)?

Thanks.

Are you using any entrypoint?
Time or length based?
It could be possible you have to retract manually the events.

Hi all,

I am using Drools Fusion. I am getting OutOfMemoryError rather fast. My JVM is running with -Xmx4g flag.
I have rules defined in another (not Drools) language.
Every rule is translated programmatically to a drl file. This is because the user can add and remove rules (in the other language) dynamically.
The default configuration contains 125 rules.

For example, one rule is supposed to identify a port scan event.

The basic fact is connection log. For each combination of src (source IP) and dst (destination IP) , detect a port scan event, if over 60 seconds there were at least 20 connection logs with different service and protocol.

The event will stay closed for 10 minute - no event will be sent during this time for this combination of  src and dst. The event the connection logs' ids (markers).
(other rules are very similar in structure, but different in logic, of course)

This is its programmatic drl file:

I am sending logs in a rate of up to 200 logs/sec. After about 3 minutes, my application starts to be unresponsive.
I monitored the JVM with VisualVM. Two snapshots of VisualVM are attached.
I found out that the class consuming most memory is FromNodeLeftTuple of drools (as can be seen in "instances.png").


1)      Is my inserting rate is too high?

2)      Is There a way I can make my rules more memory efficient?

Thanks.

Inserting logs:
public void insertEvents(Collection<Map<String, Object>> logs)
{
                for (Map<String, Object> map : logs) {
                                Log log = new Log();
                                Log.fieldsMap.putAll(map);
                                session.insert(log);
                                session.fireAllRules();
                }
}

Log class:
public class Log
{
    public HashMap<String, Object> fieldsMap = new HashMap<>();
}

CorrelatedEvent class:

public class CorrelatedEvent
{
    public Map<String, Object> groupByFieldsMap;

    private String id;

    public CorrelatedEvent(String id)
    {
        groupByFieldsMap = new HashMap<>();
        this.id<http://this.id> = id;
    }

    public String getId()
    {
        return id;
    }
}
