I have set the container memory limit to 2GB. I thought it might be issue with insufficient memory. But I see the same issue when I increase the memory as well.
So my questions are
1. If this is really a memory issue, what is the min memory needed to run Kibana?
2. Any issues with the options that used which might trigger this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Best Regards,
Vishwanath

Hi @vbhat,
I am thinking the NODE\_OPTIONS heap size may be causing your error. Can you try to increase it?
Thanks,
Liza

Thanks for the reply @LizaD
When I had not set the NODE\_OPTIONS, container exited with `OOMKill` almost every time (Sometimes it got stuck in optimising thing until health check timeout). That's why I reduced it, thinking it might help.
This brings me back to my first question. What is the right amount for NODE\_OPTIONS and what minimum amount of memory needed to run Kibana? For now I'm trying with 2gb in staging environment.
Thanks
Best Regards,
Vishwanath

Thanks @vbhat, for Kibana memory minimum 1GB should be fine, if you plan to use reporting 2GB is minimum.
You should not have to set NODE\_OPTIONS, so it might be good to get a full log of the errors without it set, but you can try `NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"` see if this works.
For Elasticsearch I found this document: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/heap-size.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/heap-size.html)
Let us know,
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks again for reply.
I was somehow able to run Kibana with trial and error method. It started running with below config
```auto
image = "kibana:7.6.2"
command = "/usr/local/bin/kibana-docker"
args = [
"--elasticsearch.hosts=http://elastic.service.consul:9200",
"--server.host=0.0.0.0",
"--server.name=es-kibana",
"--server.port=${NOMAD_PORT_http}",
"--path.data=/alloc/data",
# "--elasticsearch.preserveHost=false",
# "--xpack.apm.ui.enabled=false",
# "--xpack.graph.enabled=false",
# "--xpack.ml.enabled=false",
# "--xpack.monitoring.enabled=false",
# "--xpack.security.enabled=false",
# "--xpack.reporting.enabled=false",
# "--xpack.watcher.enabled=false",
"--xpack.monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled=false",
]
}
env {
ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m"
}
```
When I tried to run without NODE\_OPTIONS, it was getting OOM killed because the I had set 2GB hard limit on memory. But I was able to run without xpack options and with **elasticsearch.preserveHost=false**.
Do you think there is anything in those commented out options that might lead to Kibana using more memory?
Thanks for your help again.
Thanks

Vishwanath
