OpenTelemetry Collector refuses to scrape due to memory pressure
The OpenTelemetry Collector may refuse to ingest metrics during a Prometheus scrape if it exceeds its configured memory limits. When the `memory_limiter` processor is enabled, the Collector actively drops data to prevent out-of-memory errors, resulting in log messages indicating that data was refused due to high memory usage.

Loki fails to cache entries due to Memcached out-of-memory error
Grafana Loki may emit errors when attempting to write to a Memcached backend that has run out of available memory. This results in dropped index or query cache entries, which can degrade query performance but does not interrupt ingestion.

Redis Rejects Writes Due to Reaching 'maxmemory' Limit
The Redis instance has reached its configured 'maxmemory' limit. Because its active memorymanagement policy does not permit the eviction of existing keys to free up space (as is thecase when the 'noeviction' policy is in effect, which is often the default), Redis rejectsnew write commands by sending an "OOM command not allowed" error to the client.

Pod terminated with Exit Code 137 due to OOMKilled (memory limit exceeded)
The container exceeded its memory limit and was killed by the kernel OOM killer.Kubernetes reports a terminated state with Reason=OOMKilled and exitCode=137.This often manifests as CrashLoopBackOff under sustained memory pressure.

Stable Diffusion WebUI CUDA Out of Memory Crash
Detects critical CUDA out of memory errors in Stable Diffusion WebUI that cause image generation failures and application crashes. This occurs when GPU VRAM is exhausted during model loading or image generation, resulting in complete task failure and potential WebUI instability.
