I run a python script on VPS and I have problem that script keeps getting killed.
I had this problem already with 2GB RAM server config, then I upgraded to 4 GB and it seemed to fix the problem (at least for 2-3 days – but now happening again) but if I check the memory graphs I see the server load is max 20% of memory and still it is killed.
The output of cmd "grep Killed /var/log/syslog" is the following:
May 8 07:42:04 ubuntu kernel: [307104.437195] Out of memory: Killed process 28187 (python3) total-vm:4503732kB, anon-rss:2885740kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:0 pgtables:6780kB oom_score_adj:0

Is there anything i can do?
Here is the mem load screenshot. (Yes there are rwo spike 98% MEM but that was only 2 attempts of like 4 when running the scripts. Meaning in other cases it even killed with 20% mem load)
Btw i suppose the times on the image are same as in the log above but you have to do -2h substraction.

Thanks for tips guys I've figured out what was the problem. I read the websites (multi threaded) like 32 threads at once even. I lowered the count of threads to 1 to read one websites after each other (serially) and I noticed there was some website doing the infinitive output causing the memory crash.
Specifically it was btw this website www.dead-episode.de :D which is a good name for mem crashing website.
