Help to diagnose crash

[xerox]

I'm running 1.36.34 as VM into Proxmox environment.
Every day I found VM stopped, probably a lack of rersources issue.
Where should I start to find the cause (into ZM or Proxmox) ?
Thanks.

If the VM is stopped first check the Proxmox logs to see if there is a clue as to the reason of the shutdown. RAM and disks would be my first suspects.
2nd check the OS logs for the reason of the shutdown. Expected or unexpected?
Ballooning memory enabled? You should not use ballooning memory with the ZM virtual machine unless you have plenty of RAM in the host. ZM will tend to use all RAM given, much of it for caching because that is the Linux way. Linux caches reads and writes and ZM writes all the time.

As an example, here is my ZM server:

Code: Select all

free -m
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           15897        3593         360         383       11943       11582
Swap:           4095        2039        2056

If this were on Proxmox it would be consuming 16GB or RAM from Proxmox.
