Configuring CPU and memory limits for cluster logging components

You can configure both the CPU and memory limits for each of the cluster logging components as needed.

Configuring CPU and memory limits

The cluster logging components allow for adjustments to both the CPU and memory limits.

Procedure

  1. Edit the ClusterLogging custom resource (CR) in the openshift-logging project:

    $ oc edit ClusterLogging instance -n openshift-logging
    apiVersion: "logging.openshift.io/v1"
kind: "ClusterLogging"
metadata:
  name: "instance"

....

spec:
  managementState: "Managed"
  logStore:
    type: "elasticsearch"
    elasticsearch:
      nodeCount: 2
      resources: (1)
        limits:
          memory: 2Gi
        requests:

    1 Specify the CPU and memory limits and requests for the log store as needed. For Elasticsearch, you must adjust both the request value and the limit value.
    2 Specify the CPU and memory limits and requests for the log visualizer as needed.
    3 Specify the CPU and memory limits and requests for the log curator as needed.
    4 Specify the CPU and memory limits and requests for the log collector as needed.
