Hello, My Logstash is Consuming too much JVM due to it Logstash is getting shut down and not receiving any data. I have 4 Pipelines running in my Logstash and Can Some one suggest me What all steps to followed for tunning it ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/1/914ae405d66e2b218b9af9f8c6ae63799ee2ad56.png) Thanks in Advance ---

It's pretty obvious you have a memory leak. Ever higher heap utilization after GCs, long GC pauses once the heap fills until an OOM causes a restart. I suggest you read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/java-heap-space/225496/2). ---

Hello @Badger, Thank you for the response. How to enable heap dump Can You Please guide me I am Using Centos Linux 7 \*\* openjdk version "1.8.0\_131" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0\_131-b12) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b12, mixed mode) \*\* and to collect JVM heap dump bash: jmap: command not found... Regards ---

I would try -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError to see if your JVM supports that. ---

You should place it on the JVM command line, in jvm.options, for example. ---

OK, so when your JVM runs out of memory it should generate a heap dump and you will need to analyze it. I suggest you keep the heap small so that the heap dump is manageable. If you JVM runs out of heap at 8 GB it will be a lot easier to work with than if it runs out at 48 GB. ---
