Resource limitation for Windows installations #6305
-
|
Hello, how is it possible to specify the maximum resource requirements (CPU and memory) for Windows installations of the Collector? With Kubernetes deployments, this is easily possible via the Helm chart (resources -> limits and requests). Unfortunately, the documentation for the Windows installation is not very informative on this: Splunk OTEL Collector Windows Docs The collector reserves an entire vCPU, which is somewhat problematic as the Windows VM only has a total of 4 vCPUs available in this specific case. |

Windows golang support does not allow to use a fraction of a CPU core, you can use GOMAXPROCS to limit the number of goroutines executing in parallel. The collector doesn't reserve cores but needs processing power if you're actively using it. |

Many thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately this is not what I hoped for, but what I feared. In other words: as long as this is not directly supported by golang, there is no option in the collector? |

The collector is written in Go. |
