Red Hat Directory Server high memory use, ns-slapd process killed by the system as OOM/Out Of Memory
Issue
There have been reports of situations with too high memory use by the ns-slapd process.
In extreme cases, the system will terminate and kill that process.
For example, in a "high" LDAP traffic environment, 3 masters out of 4, at roughly 20 minute intervals, had their ns-slapd process consume all available memory, causing the kernel to kill the ns-slapd process.
When this happens, other masters, hubs and consumers show "normal" memory consumption.
