Oracle Linux consumes all memory when alert log edited and left open
Oracle Linux Server release 7.5
This has happened a few times. Someone does a vi alert_database.log and leaves that open. But the next day all of memory has been consumed, then went into swap, and then ASM has an issue, then all of the databases come down, and the agent comes down.
I see:
