A common error message that you might see looks like this:
To resolve this error, make sure that the vm.max_map_count environment variable is set to 262144.
On Kubernetes, this error typically occurs when vm.max_mapcount is too low. See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSMNED_2018/com.ibm.apic.install.doc/tapic_install_Kubernetes.html
It states:
"The Analytics service depends on ElasticSearch which requires map counts higher than the operating system defaults. To change the map counts on the live system, run sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 on each Kubernetes node. To persist this change when node restarts occur, add the following to the /etc/sysctl.conf file: vm.max_map_count = 262144. This is the minimum recommended value. For more information see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/vm-max-map-count.html"
