Server crashing infrequently due to 'out of memory' warning

Spark profiler thinks the server is using 8gb, but the server panel thinks it is using nearly 20. Which is correct?

Trying to ID why the ram usage is so high.

More ram = better, surely

OOhSoGamer More ram = better, surely

ProGamingDk•7/6/23, 8:35 PM

more ram = usually worse

MrMcyeet•7/6/23, 8:38 PM

Contrary to popular belief, less is more

What's better, eating just enough that you're happy, or so much that you're sick?

Doesn't pterodactyl show how much is allocated instead of how much is being used?

MarijnIsN00B•7/6/23, 9:01 PM

Thats just smth I heard somewhere, could be completely wrong

Zaid•7/6/23, 9:10 PM

I wouldn't rely on it

Zaid•7/6/23, 9:11 PM

usd tps command instead I believe it was

ProGamingDk•7/6/23, 9:13 PM

essentials has /memory

ProGamingDk•7/6/23, 9:13 PM

and spark has a method aswell

MMarijnIsN00B Doesn't pterodactyl show how much is allocated instead of how much is being used...

Sorta. All system reporting shows what is reserved by the JVM. What's reserved is marked as in use to the system, but that doesn't mean the minecraft server is using it.

Discount Milk•7/6/23, 9:18 PM

System reporting = task manager, pterodactyl panel, top command, etc.

Anthony•7/6/23, 10:12 PM

My server is constantly at max ram usage according to the panel

Anthony•7/6/23, 10:12 PM

Don't worry

Anthony•7/6/23, 10:25 PM

It should not crash

Anthony•7/6/23, 10:26 PM

We forgot to tell him to remove alwayspretouch

ProGamingDk•7/6/23, 10:26 PM

meh im hearing that it just changes when the crash comes and doesnt prevent it

Anthony•7/6/23, 10:26 PM

I'm blind

Anthony•7/6/23, 10:26 PM

He's not using that flag

ProGamingDk•7/6/23, 10:27 PM

Anthony•7/6/23, 10:27 PM

What's the crash report?

PProGamingDk meh im hearing that it just changes when the crash comes and doesnt prevent it

Discount Milk•7/6/23, 10:28 PM

Well, I think that's debatable. Generally has been shown to be effective in helping though.

ProGamingDk•7/6/23, 10:28 PM

tell that to kevin

Discount Milk•7/6/23, 10:28 PM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Discount Milk•7/6/23, 10:28 PM

Not my place, idc that much.

snowznz.bak•7/6/23, 10:53 PM

Use aikar flags

snowznz.bak•7/6/23, 10:54 PM

(AlwaysPreTouch has been removed)

DDiscount Milk Well, I think that's debatable. Generally has been shown to be effective in help...

MarijnIsN00B•7/6/23, 11:09 PM

I did have it, removed it and it was still happening

Discount Milk•7/6/23, 11:10 PM

Didn't say that it removes it entirely, just that it is effective to help

Discount Milk•7/6/23, 11:10 PM

MarijnIsN00B•7/6/23, 11:10 PM

I just spent a few hours downloading the entire server to my own pc and reinstalled the server, now Imma try again and hope it finally works like normal

MarijnIsN00B•7/6/23, 11:11 PM

Yeah just the thing is, before upgrading my server I never had this crash happen

MarijnIsN00B•7/6/23, 11:11 PM

I used the same flags and after the upgrade this shitshow just constantly happened
