Hi,

I'm running v4.1.1 on a t3.xlarge EC2 instance, with the SOLR index running on a separate platform.  Staff interface is currently unreachable.

We believe a large report is eating 98% of available memory (TOP tells me it is the on-board java doing it, not mysql)

I have archivesspace.sh configured as follows:

if [ "$ASPACE_JAVA_XMX" = "" ]; then
    ASPACE_JAVA_XMX="-Xmx2048m"
fi

if [ "$ASPACE_JAVA_XSS" = "" ]; then
    ASPACE_JAVA_XSS="-Xss4m"
fi

Can someone advise me on how to improve this?  What is the effect of reducing the heap space?

Thanks in advance!

I should add I have 16GB of RAM on this system, and amend it to say it looks like 5G is alotted to JAVA at the moment. 
TOP looks like this
