OOM in Docker

• Docker: --oom-kill-disable=false To enable or disable OOM Killer for the container.

Use docker inspect CONTANINER_NAME | grep OOM to show options. For example:

docker inspect grafana | grep -i OOM
           "OOMKilled": false,
           "OomScoreAdj": 0,
           "OomKillDisable": false,
