Insufficient memory for Elasticsearch process on v1.4.0

[milan]

Hello everyone

After the upgrade on ver 1.4.0 the elasticsearch service is crashing giving following error message:

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x0000000784660000, 1898577920, 0) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)
#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 1898577920 bytes for committing reserved memory.
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# /tmp/jvm-33003/hs_error.log

Before upgrade elasticsearch service worked well with ~4 Gb ram à Node.

Can somebody help with this problem?

Many thx and best regards
Milan

How much data worth of logs are you receiving?

[milan]

Hello
Sorry for late answer.

We are receiving aprox. 1Gb log data per day, which should be okl. for 4-instance Cluster.

Could maybe "sudden traffic-spikes" be the reason for this crushes?

We have increased the amount of memory on all Nodes from 4 Gb to 8 Gb and since then we haven't exeprienced any problems.

Best Regards
Milan

I'm glad to hear that this is resolved. NLS takes a lot of RAM. Are you a current customer? If so, we should get you access to the customer forums.

Hello

Yes we are current customer.

Should we make request over sales, or direct over admin?

Many thanks and best regards

You should send a request to [email protected]. I figured with that much data, you're a current customer. Glad we could help you with this as well. I'm going to close this thread as the issue is resolved.
