Upgrade RAM for logstash100[123] to 64G
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

With the current load we are seeing multiple Java OOM failures for Elasticsearch per day and the boxes are so busy doing GC runs that they aren't keeping up with the inbound log traffic.

Each host is currently 16G; taking that up to 64G will help greatly.

we rejected this since there are 6 slots open for memory, and 4 use the 4GB. we'd be replacing ALL system memory for 3 hosts which end their warranty support this fall 2015.
