Better Out of Memory
BOoM Viewer is a free online tool designed to help system administrators and developers analyze Linux Out of Memory (OOM) kill logs. When a Linux system runs critically low on memory, the kernel’s OOM killer terminates processes to free up resources. Understanding these events is crucial for system optimization and debugging.
With BOoM Viewer, you can paste kernel logs from dmesg, journalctl, or /var/log/messages and instantly visualize:
- System memory statistics and breakdown
- Process listings with memory consumption
- Kill decision details and trigger information
- Visual memory bars and sortable tables
The tool runs entirely in your browser—no data is sent to external servers, ensuring your logs remain private. Analysis results can be shared via compressed URLs for collaboration.
Status: Currently in alpha development. The parser may not handle all OOM log formats.
