Memory Full

Thanks for the logs.

This wasn’t a spike per se. It was a steady build up from

This is where it’s just about reached the end of the buffers it can dump.

The last line in the file:

Shows it’s close to swapping. When free gets back down to 160-ish again, it will swap.

I would like you to temporarily increase the number of log files retained by the system.

  1. Stop Plex
  2. As root, add LogNumFiles=“20” in Prefernces.xml at the end, just before the closing />
  3. Start PMS

Now, your logs will have 20 rollovers instead of 5. This will hopefully give us enough of a window.

Please reset your memory-watcher log and begin again.
