Hello @wil,

Can I ask what HEAP you have assigned to both Graylog and Data Node/Opensearch? As you have 20GB and both Graylog and OS exist of the same node I would recommend assigning 2GB to Graylog and 8Gb to Opensearch.

Hi @Wine_Merchant,

I did not modify any value on heap_sizes for graylog and datanode/opensearch its only a default to 1G.

As you suggest, Is this the correct path file where am I do an assignment for 2GB to Graylog [etc/sysconfig/graylog-server] and 8Gb to Datanode/Opensearch [etc/graylog/datanode/jvm.options] ?

Please see the attached file.

For Graylog that is the correct path at which to set heap, alter both Xms and Xmx to 2GB. For the Data Node you should set the opensearch_heap option within the datanode.conf under /etc/graylog/datanode to 8GB.

This would leave 10GB RAM for all other operations on your host.
