OOM Killer Issues Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n

When receiving an OOM killer load alert<\/a> notification via email, your next move should be to delve into what’s causing the issue and find a solution. To assist you, we have already examined the most common issues and proposed effective solutions to prevent their recurrence. Here are the three primary process groups we’ve identified:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Common Cases<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Memory Leak Processes<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Non-Leaking Processes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Common Cases<\/h2>\n

    Take a look at the table below to find solutions for frequently terminated processes identified by the OOM tool:<\/p>\n

    These are the background tasks that automatically run on any platform container and can be stopped by the OOM tool.<\/p>\n

    Process<\/b><\/td>\nResolution\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    adt<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    cron<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    crond<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    expect<\/td>\nIt’s possible that this issue arises from activities like git fetch, git pull, or git gc processes. This might be due to the project’s large size or a slow internet connection.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    git<\/td>\nYou can start the update from GIT by clicking on the button next to your project on the dashboard. If you prefer, you can also just wait for the next auto-deploy to run (if it’s turned on), and it will take care of restoring the git process for you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    git-remote-http<\/td>\nIt’s possible that this issue arises from activities like git fetch, git pull, or git gc processes. This might be due to the project’s large size or a slow internet connection.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    gitlab-projects<\/td>\nIt’s possible that this issue arises from activities like git fetch, git pull, or git gc processes. This might be due to the project’s large size or a slow internet connection.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    jem<\/td>\nIf you’ve been using the platform dashboard for tasks like deploying applications, installing SSL, or changing the engine lately, one of those operations might not have gone through successfully. Maybe you should give it another attempt.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    nscd<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    ssh<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    sshd<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    systemd<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    systemd-journal<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    taskrunner<\/td>\nYou might want to consider restarting the container to get the process back up and running smoothly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

    Processes with a High Risk of Memory Leak<\/h2>\n

    We address potential memory leaks by taking specific actions or optimizing the application code. These issues are categorized depending on the stack type or programming language used. Each category offers tailored suggestions for general improvements and solutions to terminate particular processes.<\/p>\n

    Focus closely on the procedures within this group, as they are likely the primary reason for your out-of-memory problems. Sort them based on server role for better understanding.<\/p>\n
