Out of Memory

 Out-of-memory (OOM) errors take place when the Linux kernel can’t provide enough memory to run all of its user-space processes, causing at least one process to exit without warning. Without a comprehensive monitoring solution, OOM errors can be tricky to diagnose.

In this post, you will learn how to diagnose OOM errors in Linux kernels by:

  • Analyzing different types of OOM error logs
  • Choosing the most revealing metrics to explain low-memory situations on your hosts
  • Using a profiler to understand memory-heavy processes
  • Setting up automated alerts to troubleshoot OOM error messages more easily
