  1. Do one of the following:

    • When using a Helm chart, in the Helm install command, add the following command line argument:

      --set memoryLimit=MEM_LIMIT

      For example: --set memoryLimit=625Mi

    • When using the k8s_informer.yaml, under the line containing “limits:” add the line memory: MEM_LIMIT.

      In the following example, MEM_LIMIT is 625Mi.
