Hi Folks,

Based on the documnetation there is a memory overhead of the dynatrace code module (100 - 200 MB).

[OneAgent memory requirements — Dynatrace Docs](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/dynatrace-oneagent/memory-requirements)

Nowdays I met some kubernetes / openshift clusters with very limited memeory resources. I have created a high level qucik dashboard, to check the memory limit and memory usage metrics. Free memory limit / pod&nbsp; should be higher than the overhead.

Maybe it is useful for you also.
