- Run `SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;` and look under the `BUFFER POOL AND MEMORY` section to see detailed memory usage.
- Run `SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST;` to find long-running or stuck queries that might be consuming a lot of memory.
- Kill any unnecessary or long-running processes that are safe to stop. Use `KILL [process id];` for each.
- If you identified any problematic queries, consider optimizing them to use less memory.
- Increase the `innodbbufferpoolsize` by editing the MySQL configuration file, or dynamically if your version supports it: `SET GLOBAL innodbbufferpoolsize = [new size];`.
- Adjust other relevant parameters such as `tmptablesize` and `maxheaptable_size` using similar SET GLOBAL commands, if applicable.
- Run `FLUSH TABLES;` and `FLUSH QUERY CACHE;` to free up memory used by table and query caches, respectively.
Remember to monitor the system after taking these actions to ensure stability and avoid repeating the issue.
