INFORMATION
In a high-volume multimedia environment, the default ElasticSearch maximum memory size may be insufficient, and the service may restart on occasion, causing an alarm ALM0155. Use the following steps to increase this maximum:
1. Open a DOS command prompt window.
2. Run the following command: C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\elasticsearch\tools\elasticsearch-1.4.1\bin\service.bat manager
3. In the Java tab, increase the "Maximum memory pool" value (8192 for 8GB limit, 16384 for 16GB limit, etc.) to half as high as the system memory - it will not immediately max out, but will only grow as needed.
4. Press OK, then restart the ElasticSearch service.
