The minimum memory should be 1 GB. This value can be overwritten when installing Pulse:

To update the maximum memory after Pulse 6 was installed you will need to follow the steps below:

Open regedit:

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > WOW6432Node > Apache Software Foundation > Procrun 2.0 > PulseElasticsearchServer > Parameters > Java > JvmMX

1. Double click on JvmMx and tick decimal to see the value.

2. Double click on JvmMs and tick decimal to see the value.

3. Double click on Options and update the values below (Xms and Xmx):

The value entered needs to be the same for the JvmMx and JvmMs.

Once the value has been updated. Restart the Pulse Elasticsearch service.

Note: The JVMMax and JVMMin must have the same value. Set this according to your installation, this has to be tuned accordingly to your installation. Increase the memory until garbage collection (gc) messages disappear.
