Test the Memory Limit

Test Docker memory limits in Cortex XSOAR 6.13.

After configuring the memory limitation to the recommend 1 GB, you can test the memory limit in the playground.

• Run the following automation script:

  from multiprocessing import Process
  import os
  
  
  def big_string(size):
      sys.stdin = os.fdopen(0, "r")
      s = 'a' * 1024
      while len(s) < size:
          s = s * 2
      print('completed creating string of length: {}'.format(len(s)))
  
  
  size = 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024
  p = Process(target=big_string, args=(size, ))
  p.start()
  p.join()
  if p.exitcode != 0:
      return_error("Return code from sub process indicates failure: {}".format(p.exitcode))
  else:
      print("Success allocating memory of size: {}".format(size))

  The command returns an error when it fails to allocate 1 GB of memory. For example:
