Performance Tuning Part -1 : Server Overload Protection & Actions

You can tune your weblogic server to take appropriate action during failed or overload state like instruct to kill the server process during Failed or overload state so that your node manager should restart your server.

A running server instance can fail as a result of out-of-memory exceptions or stuck application threads, or if one or more critical services become dysfunctional.  A server instance monitors its health, and upon detecting that one or more critical subsystems are unstable, it declares itself FAILED. A FAILED server instance cannot satisfy administrative or client requests
