Hello,

I have wowza 4.7.8 and Java Version 9.0.4

My JAVA setting is recommended:

Java Heap Size

Production level 10000 MB

Java Garbage Collection Settings

G1 (Garbage First) collector (recommended) -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=100

My Server have 4 cores and 16 GB of RAM

I only have 30 incoming streams without transcoder and recording

Every 2 days Memory is full and streaming is stop and I force to reboot the server.

I see many post on forum about memory usage and can not see a solution about in.

Are I must be increase the RAM or my tuning is wrong?

Please help me
