Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • On all OpenShift 4.5 environments we are observing, that the container proxy in all pods elasticsearch-cd[m] frequently (some more than once a day) are OOMKilled and therefore restarted.
  • Elasticsearch proxy container OOMKilled
  • We have a 250 node cluster with very large infra nodes for elasticsearch. Elasticsearch pods are continuously getting oom-killed due to cgroup limits causing issues with large scale logging testing and missing messages.

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) 4.5
