Memory Leak Processes

Pay special attention to the processes in this group as to the most probable cause of your out-of-memory issues (sorted based on server role):

  • Load Balancers
  • Application Servers
  • Database Servers
  • Common Processes for Different-Type Stacks

Common recommendations

Processes in this section can be run and, subsequently, killed within different node types. Thus, OOM resolutions for them vary and depend on a process itself - see the table below to find the appropriate recommendations.
