I deployed a build that utilizes Next.j’s ISP.
Server restarts
Now my server is unexpectedly restarting multiple times a day. Insight is showing the following behavior:
“top” with nearly 40% memory usage:
Troubleshooting
It appears to be a memory leak issue, but the server restarts around 50% memory usage. In the second image you can see restarts even sooner and it doesn’t always restart when the memory drops. I’ve tried going through DO’s troubleshooting documentation but it directs me to the runtime logs, which get cleared with each restart so I don’t have anything to go off of.
What triggers server restarts on the app platform? What 3rd party tools are available to get the logs to debug this issue?
