Hi there,
With respect to [https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-search-heap-alert/155479](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-search-heap-alert/155479) I have updated the Elasticsearch mapping. Currently, I have 1 index with 5 shards and 1 replica. Still, I am getting the following memory alert continuously.
> You Elastic cloud cluster Memory usage is more than 70%.
@Christian_Dahlqvist, @dadoonet is my cluster working properly because I am getting this alert continuously
may I know the all possible reasons for this error and how I can solve this?

It sounds like you could benefit from a larger heap, but without more information around the use case, data and queries it is hard to tell.

May be ask the cloud support if this is expected?
Please see [https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service/support](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service/support) on how to raise a support ticket for Elastic Cloud 🙂

Hi, @Christian_Dahlqvist I am having 8GB Ram and my data size is 25GB. Currently, I am having 235GB Disk Available. I am using the following type of query on elastic search:
- Create Document
- Update Document
- Delete Document
- Delete By Query
- Update By Query
- Get Document
- Get All Documents
Does this cause a larger heap issue?
