Logstash insufficient memory for java runtime env

Elastic Stack Logstash

Hi ELK Users,

I am wondering if anyone has come across this issue when running logstash

PS C:\Program Files\ELK\logstash-7.13.1\bin> .\logstash.bat -f C:\Program Files\ELK\logstash-7.13.1\config\logstash-test-std.conf
Using JAVA_HOME defined java: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.1
WARNING, using JAVA_HOME while Logstash distribution comes with a bundled JDK

I haven't worked with Java before. Was wondering is someone has some suggestions for me to work around this issue.

Thanks

The JVM is trying to allocate 1 GB of memory and the OS is saying it cannot do that. Increasing the size of the page file might help.

I am on a VM.

Increased the size of it.

Is running fine now.

Thanks for the help :smiley:

Hi,

Just wondering how to increase the size of the page file.
Is it one of the options on the logstash.yml

No, it is nothing to do with logstash. It is a Windows operating system feature. You can read more here.

The size of the page file limits the amount of memory that can be allocated in ways I am not inclined to expound upon here.

ok got you.
Will look this up.
Thanks
