Ganesh, You have 29162892 (~27GB) free memory. You are trying to allocate (-Xms32g) 32GB. So you get > [@Ganesh2303](#): > > `There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.` ---

Ganesh, Other processes running on this specific machines were taking up 31358668 (~30GB) at the time of ES start. You cannot compare with other nodes or past history of this node. If you are still seeing the issue, "top" command with sort on memory (shift+m) will give you processes consuming most memory. ---

Ganesh, I don't know much about rsyslogd debugging. But that process is your issue. ---
