Hi Everyone,

I need a small help and clarification

I was trying to deploy Graylog as Docker, and I wanted to set the -Xms5g -Xmx5g

This is the initial value that I password for GRAYLOG\_SERVER\_JAVA\_OPTS was

value: “-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/trust/opensearch-truststore.p12 -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit”

and the pod is working but then when i set it to

value: “-Xms5g -Xmx5g -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/trust/opensearch-truststore.p12 -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit”

The pod fails. What is the correct way to set the value? I am not able get anything from documents

OS Information: Ubuntu and Kubernetes

Package Version: Graylog 7.0.2+7a367fe

Service logs, configurations, and environment variables: GRAYLOG\_SERVER\_JAVA\_OPTS

Hi @rohanrajnv,

Can you post your logs here? Without logs I can’t tell what’s happening with your instance.

Thanks!
