OutOfDirectMemoryError: failed in Logstash logs

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi,
Continuously getting OutOfDirectMemoryError: failed error on Logstash, I chekced the host memory usage and CPU all good and memory is around 60% used, but no clear idea how this issue is being happened.

In jvm.options following values has been set too,

-Xms2g
-Xmx2g

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[2022-09-26T07:49:21,303][WARN ][io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline] An exceptionCaught() event was fired, and it reached at the tail of the pipeline. It usually means the last handler in the pipeline did not handle the exception.

Thanks.

The point here is not the host memory but the one you allocated to logstash, as you got 2097152000/1024/1024/1024=1.9Go used of the 2 you allocated.
You should check the performance tunning section in order to learn how to monitor / improve your consumption.

It doesn't matter much what your heap size is, direct memory is not allocated from the heap.
