filebeat :7.3.2 POD OOMKilled with 1Gi memory

9/27/2019

I am running filebeat as deamon set with 1Gi memory setting. my pods getting crashed with OOMKilled status.

Here is my limit setting

 resources:
          limits:
            memory: 1Gi
          requests:
            cpu: 100m
            memory: 1Gi

What is the recommended memory setting to run the filebeat.

Thanks

The RAM usage of Filebeat is relative to how much it is doing, in general. You can limit the number of harvesters to try and reduce things, but overall you just need to run it uncapped and measure what the normal usage is for your use case and scenario.
