+- `memory_ballast` is no longer effective. The garbage collection is now controlled by the soft memory limit set to 90%
+  of total memory (`SPLUNK_MEMORY_TOTAL_MIB` env var).
+
+  If you haven't customized the `memory_balast`, just remove it from the configuration. 
+
+  If you have customized it via `SPLUNK_BALLAST_SIZE_MIB` (or `extensions::memory_ballast::size_mib` config), you should
+  remove the memory_ballast extension and use `GOMEMLIMIT` env var to set a customized soft memory limit:
+  - To increase frequency of garbage collections: set `GOMEMLIMIT` to a higher value than the default 90% of total memory.
+  - To decrease frequency of garbage collections: set `GOMEMLIMIT` to a lower value than the default 90% of total memory.
