"Data Node Heap Size Warning" when running Graylog in Docker

Hello,

I’ve installed a Graylog with docker-compose and set the environment variable “GRAYLOG_DATANODE_OPENSEARCH_HEAP” to increase Java heap size, but the alert still ocurring

My setup:

  • Debian 12
  • Docker version 20.10.24+dfsg1, build 297e128
  • Docker compose file
# For DataNode setup, graylog starts with a preflight UI, this is a change from just using OpenSearch/Elasticsearch.
# Please take a look at the README at the top of this repo or the regular docs for more info.

If someone has any idea about it, I appreciate it!

Hi @nochexa,

Just to be extra sure, have you closed/removed the original notification and it’s still appearing? If yes, does the new one show the updated RAM size configuration?

Thanks!
