This morning we had one of our apache servers (running Ubuntu) went haywire, something on it used all the memory making it completely inaccessible. It was given a hard reboot and everything on it is back to normal. I'm not really sure how I can track down which process is responsible for this, In the syslog I see messages like: 
Out of memory: kill process 30525 (apache2) score 2525474 or a child
But I'm not sure what process that was nor what to do to figure that out. Maybe I can't find the real reason this time but for future crashes of this type is there anything I can be doing to collect better information?
