Monitoring of Elastic Search pods can be tricky due to all memory usage

Upon checking the diagnostics and screenshot, this is the warning message:

hub elasticsearch-master-esnodes-000 cpd-operands Memory usage has exceeded the 90% threshold.

hub elasticsearch-master-esnodes-001 cpd-operands Memory usage has exceeded the 90% threshold.

hub elasticsearch-master-esnodes-002 cpd-operands Memory usage has exceeded the 90% threshold.

 

Since there haven't been any restarts on the pods according to the diagnostics, the warning about memory usage is normal and expected because elasticsearch will always take all the available memory.

 

Regarding the dc-main pod exceeding their memory.

Dev stated:

"for dc-main seems to be that it is expected to have such memory consumption during startup of the app. Also, we should keep in mind that dc-main memory limits are very low compared to other microservices."

 

As long as they not getting restarted or having actual problems they should be fine with their current resources.
