Just increasing the heap randomly will not help you to find out where the memory requirement is coming from. Your snippet (please format it, this forum supports markdown) only shows a heap of 2g however. One of the first things is to figure out, when the out of memory exception happens. What is being executed? Can that be tracked down? Special query or an index storm? ---

Do you know what happens with your cluster when that exception happens? indexing? querying? Also, checking the [nodes stats API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/cluster-nodes-stats.html) regarding memory may help. ---
