Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Now you should have the tools to see if the spike in tor's memory usage is
 related to a spike in connections or bandwidth, but you won't have any
 data to compare with (from times where you didn't have the OOM problem).

 On the graph around 2017-05-31 9:00 there is an (usual?) spike from 13k to
 19k connections, I guess the memory spiked as well (you didn't provide
 memory graphs).

 Also note: Be aware that connection graphs at that granularity are
 considered sensitive.
