Dear Team, We have configured **ES\_HEAP\_SIZE=3g as the environment variable, and bootstrap.mlockall: true in config file** and the same is reflected in service manager. Pfa.. the screen shots? Can you tell me why the Kibana dashboard is showing total heap in MB?? Kindly guide. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/c/cbf01c36a91f905616cfeacf65f4c18b453aa193.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/b/b9012c41248ea0731d2c5f4892fdd39a60215bd7.png) Regards, Chirag Shah ---

Dear Team, got it.. the server status seems to Kibana server status... I tried to cross check with the \_nodes/stats api and it is reflected in elasticsearch... still share your experiences. Regards, Chirag Shah ---

Dear Mark, How can we increase Kibana's heap size on linux box? Thank you in advance. ---
