Logstash failed to start up because of memory issues

My Log stash failed to start up because of memory issues:

This is what i see
[root@ip-10-206-118-171 logstash]# /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x000000054a660000, 10562961408, 0) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)

There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.

Native memory allocation (mmap) failed to map 10562961408 bytes for committing reserved memory.

An error report file with more information is saved as:

Logstash JVM options.

JVM configuration

Xms represents the initial size of total heap space

Xmx represents the maximum size of total heap space

-Xms10g
-Xmx10g

Why are you setting -Xmx10g when you only have 8 GB RAM?
