    So the Instana configuration I manage - is different than yours (self-hosted on-prem running on Linux internally) - but the error message you posted mentions a memory issue.   According to the message - your agent does not have a memory limit set and is trying to use an amount of memory larger than the entire available pool

    The error message is directing you to make a change to set the MemoryMax property.  There are directions from IBM on how to configure this here: 

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/instana-host-agent-how

    Specifically - see the section marked "Instana Agent resource usage limit" - it explains how to limit the memory usage of the host-agent.
