With the java code deployed by AKS, if Container Insight is enabled, can we locate the specific java process or thread id that causes OOM? If so, how?

Question

https://docs.azure.cn/en-us/azure-monitor/containers/container-insights-logs-schema

Since there is no information about OOM in the documentation, I would like to ask if AKS enables container insight, can it locate the java process and thread id that caused OOM?

Hello Gallatin 21V,

Welcome to microsoft Q&A,Thankyou for posting your query here.

AKS and Container insights provide a robust infrastructure for monitoring and diagnostics.

To figure out which part of your Java code caused an "out of memory" error, it might be best to use a mix of tools and methods from both Java and Azure Kubernetes services.

This way, you can get a clearer picture of what went wrong.

AKS supports Kubernetes native logging mechanisms that can capture stdout and stderr outputs from containers.

You can use Container Insights to query these logs and troubleshoot issues with your Java applications, If your Java application logs OOM errors or stack traces to these streams, you can have their output captured and queried through Container insights.

Hope this helps you,
