Applications Server:
1. The app server is not swapping and typically runs with about 1GB of free memory. We have considered dropping one node. Would like people's thoughts on this
2. We do have verbose garbage collection enabled. What should I look for in these logs?
3. We do keep an eye on user distribution and most of the time it is fairly evenly distributed.
Database Server:
1. The application server is configured to log the long running queries, but we have not spent the time yet to tune the queries.
2. I'll check with the DBA on server configuration.
