Dear,

We've encounter 'random' out of memory errors that we can't explain. When we see the error occur we don't see an increase of Heap, system load, CPU or I/O. So I don't know where to search for the explanation why this error occures.

Welcome to our community! 😃

What version are you on?  
What do your Elasticsearch logs show?  
What is the output from the `_cluster/stats?pretty&human` API?

Thanks for the fast reaction.

We're running 7.12

The elasticsearch log contains a lot of information, any specific I could search for to show you?

The output of `_cluster/stats?pretty&human`:

You should make sure all nodes are on the same version.

Sorry, I had the log of the wrong ES server I guess. Hereby the other containing the OutOfMemory error.

Are you 100% sure all nodes are on the same version, can you run `GET /_cat/nodes?v&h=v,n,ip`?

They are now, so I'll monitor if any problems occur. You think the problem is caused by different versions?

@warkolm The nodes are all the same version. The list of versions you listed are the version various indices were created under.

No problem 🙂 , you've got any other idea how to find out what the problem could be or where I should look when it occurs again?
