Hey, I am not a huge fan of the OOM killer to be honest. However, something is going against your plans when the OOM killer kicks in
You configured 30GB heap, but you are running out of memory (then most of the time the process which takes the most memory is killed, obviously elasticsearch). But why are you running out of memory? Do you have any other service running on that machine, which eats up system memory? Please check (or disable the OOM killer, but you should find out why it kicks in). Also, use the nodes info API to find out if bootstrap.mlockall setting is really configured correctly on your nodes. --Alex On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 5:50 PM, Tula <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have 3 ubuntu VM's on a private network, each has 64GB ram.
