Virtual memory usage of elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

when i see top command virtual memory usage for ElasticSearch is high. I
have allocated min 1G and max 2G heap size for it. How can i control the
virtual memory usage? I am getting OOM frequently on ElasticSearch log.

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
3721 elastics 20 0 87.4g 2.1g 119m S 66.2 14.3
29:45.90 java

Thanks
Gokul

If you get OOM, you should take a look at RSS (resident set size) of the
process. The VIRT (virtual memory) can span GB or TB, it does not matter at
all.
