How do I find out if Trifacta processes got killed by the Linux OOM Killer ?

Some of our test systems running out resources and the Trifacta processes get killed. Not sure if they simply get killed by the OOM Killer since there is nothing in the logs. Any recommendations ?

Hi @Mad Hatter? ,

/var/log/messages contains the system logs and will also hold the entries if the system kills processes if you are on Red Hat / Centos. You can run the command grep -i 'killed process' /var/log/messages to check only for the OOM killer

@Mad Hatter? - also, good point to start are the logs.

The logs should indicate any errors that may lead up to the process failing See as reference https://docs.trifacta.com/display/r050/System+Services+and+Logs?os_username=tr29r050usr%26&os_password=%2A1ads%40flfg%40npa%28%3DPPKz

Thanks @Sebastian Cyris? , this is very useful information.

Found that I am running out of memory and the Linux OOM Killer actually killed bunch of processes due to the underpowered system. 👍
