  2. diego questions: default memory and passing env variables

Re: diego questions: default memory and passing env variables

We are not using Diego and we are on CF version 211.
I had my application started with 2GB of memory set in the manifest file. I
then ran the following command and restaged the app:
cf set-env <app-name> MEMORY_LIMIT 1024m
Then when I ran "cf app <app-name>", it was still showing the instance
memory of 2GB but the heap size allocated to the application was cut in
half and I confirmed this through New Relic app. Also, the first full GC of
the app occurred when the memory of the instance was at 1.3GB. So I am not
quite sure of the description of the MEMORY_LIMIT env variable as described
in
http://docs.run.pivotal.io/devguide/deploy-apps/environment-variable.html#memory.
I did not see my application restart when the instance memory went over
1GB.
Any ideas about this behavior?

Thanks.
Siva

What is the default memory size of an app deployed in diego? cf apps
indicate 1GB.
Yes. This isn't a diego thing, this is a CC thing.


cf set-env doesn't appear to be getting the environment variable
information to the running container. Is cf set-env the correct method to
use?
You likely need to restage the application for ENV var changes to take
effect. Unless I'm mistaken, this too is not diego-specific, and applies
to DEA containers as well.


Thanks!
