如何减少 opentelemetry-collector 容器的内存使用

Question

I have deployed opentelemetry-collector as a container by pulling the image from https://hub.docker.com/r/otel/opentelemetry-collector/tags . I checked the container's memory usage using docker stats command and I got MEM USAGE / LIMIT -> 15.3MiB / 7.667GiB

Is there any possibility to reduce the memory usage for this default image to below 10MiB

I want to reduce the opentelemetry-collector container's memory usage to below 10MiB

Answer 1

You can add --memory=10m to your docker run command.

https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/

Now - this isn't magic. If the process needs more than that to run then it will just crash.

If that is the case, then you will need to look at changing the configuration of the service and/or possibly its source code.
