Describe the issue:
Opensearch dashboard pod got restarted with following fatal error

FATAL ERROR: MarkCompactCollector: young object promotion failed Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

How we can increase the java heap memory. We couldn’t find an option to set it up.

opensearch-dashboards@observability-opensearch-dashboards-67db5bf955-8h6rv:~$ env|grep -i java
opensearch-dashboards@observability-opensearch-dashboards-67db5bf955-8h6rv:~$

Could you please suggest how to increase and verify the java heap memory on dashboard.

Thanks,
Kishore

@kksaha I never had such an error in OpenSearch Dashboards.
What resources did you assign to the OpenSearch Dashboards pod? Did you use helm charts?
