Troubleshooting common resource allocation problems on your appliance

{% note %}

Note: Because regularly polling {% data variables.location.product_location %} with continuous integration (CI) or build servers can effectively cause a denial of service attack that results in problems, we recommend using webhooks to push updates. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE".

{% endnote %}

Use the monitor dashboard to stay informed on your appliance's resource health and make decisions on how to fix high usage issues.

Problem	Possible cause(s)	Recommendations
High CPU usage	VM contention from other services or programs running on the same host	If possible, reconfigure other services or programs to use fewer CPU resources. To increase total CPU resources for the VM, see "AUTOTITLE."
High memory usage	VM contention from other services or programs running on the same host	If possible, reconfigure other services or programs to use less memory. To increase the total memory available on the VM, see "AUTOTITLE."
Low disk space availability	Large binaries or log files consuming disk space	If possible, host large binaries on a separate server, and compress or archive log files. If necessary, increase disk space on the VM by following the steps for your platform in "AUTOTITLE."
Higher than usual response times	Often caused by one of the above issues	Identify and fix the underlying issues. If response times remain high, contact us by visiting {% data variables.contact.contact_ent_support %}.
Elevated error rates	Software issues	Contact us by visiting {% data variables.contact.contact_ent_support %} and include your support bundle.
