[solved] redis OOM crash while running gvm under high load

[Elleni]

I dedicated 100 GB RAM to this VM, and 40 vCPU's as I knew that gvm will need many ressources. Then while testing I did some simoultanious scans - like 4 to 5 x /24 networkscans. It mostly worked while the box was experiencing heavy load.

However - I saw some scans not finishing but being interrupted at 98%.

Looking through the logs, it became clear, that the redis-openvas service crashed because of oom. A restart of the service redis-openvas restored scanning functionality.

dmesg -T shows:
