> How fortrabbit measures the memory of workers and crons, and counts jobs killed for lack of memory.


## Jobs memory

The memory the workers and crons use together. A sample holds the highest memory since the sample before, so it catches short spikes. A bar shows two values:

- max: the highest sample of the hour or day. Compare it with the memory of the Jobs plan, drawn as a line.
- typical peak: the median sample. Half of the samples were lower, half higher.

See [overlapping jobs](/platform/jobs/tuning#overlapping-jobs) and [out of memory](/dev/performance/out-of-memory#jobs).

## Jobs OOM kills

Workers and crons the system ended because the jobs needed more memory than the plan has. A bar is the number of kills in that hour or day. See [out of memory](/dev/performance/out-of-memory#jobs).

## Labels and lines

The values each metric shows in one bar, for the time frame, and on the summary page, and the lines drawn across the chart:
