For almost all memory were comsumed by influxdb, kernel OOM Kill happens a lot. So how to configure influxdb that make it using less memory than now ?

Here is the configuretion:

reporting-disabled = true
bind-address = “127.0.0.1:8088”
[meta]
dir = “/data/application/influxdb/meta”
logging-enabled = true
[data]
dir = “/data/application/influxdb/data”
wal-dir = “/dev/shm/influxdb/wal”
wal-fsync-delay = “100ms”
index-version = “tsi1”
trace-logging-enabled = true
query-log-enabled = true
cache-max-memory-size = “2g”
cache-snapshot-memory-size = “15m”
cache-snapshot-write-cold-duration = “5m”
compact-throughput = “80m”
max-index-log-file-size = “40m”

bind-address = “:8086”
