Environment Variables

All environment variables, unless otherwise indicated, are considered required.

General Variables

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS

Feature flags and default configuration overrides for the container's embedded JVM.

Example Value

-Xms1g -Xmx2g -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -Xloggc:/hln/diagnostics/garbageCollection.log -XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation -XX:NumberOfGCLogFiles=1 -XX:GCLogFileSize=10m -XX:+UseStringDeduplication	

Explanation of Options

• -Xms1g: sets the initial heap size allocation to 1GB (1024 MiB)

• -Xmx2g: sets the maximum heap size allocation to 2GB (2048 MiB)

• -XX:+UseG1GC: enables the usage of the G1 garbage collector.

• -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps controls verbosity of garbage collection logging output.

• -Xloggc:/hln/diagnostics/garbageCollection.log path for the garbage collection logging output file.

• -XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation -XX:NumberOfGCLogFiles=1 -XX:GCLogFileSize=10m enables the rotation of log files once the maximum file size of 10MB has been reached.

• -XX:+UseStringDeduplication avoids duplicate garbage collection log entries.

Logging Level Configuration

LOGGING_LEVEL_ROOT Optional

This container supports variable logging level, which gives engineers and operators more granular control over logging output.

Accepted Values

• debug Verbose logging. Useful for triaging.

• info default Standard logging output.

• warn Outputs log events classified as warnings or higher.

• error Outputs log events classified as errors or higher.

• fatal Only fatal, typically uncaught exceptions will be logged.

• silent Disables all logging output.

• trace Extremely verbose logging.
