Hi Team, I configure weaviate with  
MEMORY\_WARNING\_PERCENTAGE: 60 MEMORY\_READONLY\_PERCENTAGE: 70  
in weaviate 1.21.2. But Even crossing 80% of memory I doesn’t show any warning or dont go to read-only. Does it not support for the above version or something else to do ?

Are you sure you set the environment variables correctly? Can you run the following command in your docker desktop?

* * *

```
echo $MEMORY_WARNING_PERCENTAGE

```

* * *

Also, can you see if this was correctly setup from the logs (which show up right after initialization)

Hi @mnkasikci @DudaNogueira , i checked that the variables are working correctly. but Radio() function in memwatch Monitor always return 0. So that even if the currently memory usage \> 80% it always show 0.00%.  
I placed a logger inside memoryUseWarn function . It shows

{“action”:“MEMORYUSAGEWARN METHOD”,“level”:“warning”,“msg”:“memory usage currently at 0.00%, threshold set to 80.00%”,“path”:“/var/lib/weaviate”,“time”:“2024-02-07T11:03:39Z”}  
{“action”:“MEMORYUSAGEWARN METHOD”,“level”:“warning”,“msg”:“memory usage currently at 0.00%, threshold set to 80.00%”,“path”:“/var/lib/weaviate”,“time”:“2024-02-07T11:04:09Z”}
