Node memory alerts

This indicates there may not be enough memory on the node in order to operate.

The alert combines two signals:

  • The available memory is under 5%.
  • There is a high rate of major page faults. This indicates that there is not enough memory to keep application pages in memory.

Possible issues:

  • A run-away cron job uses too much memory.
  • The application load is too high.
  • There are memory leaks.

Possible actions:

  • Kill runaway job(s).
  • Provision more memory on the node.
