Memory Usage on Linux server

Hi Jay

Monitoring the memory usage of BW processes is not so easy as they are Java processes. Top doesn't show the sum of native memory and heap used by the Java processes. From the administrator you can check the heap used by each process, while the native usually doesn't change very much. If you can modify the deployment configuration I suggest you to enable the jconsole and use it to monitor the processes.

In any case the drop in the memory usage is strange. But many things could have happened:
1) Another process was taking a lot of memory, but Top didn't show it (still a heap and native memory issue)
2) Actually something is not working. From the administrator you can check the activity of the BW processes
3) Simply someone modified the configuration of the virtual machine adding some memory (the left hand doesn't know ... happens often)

jmap(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   jmap(1)

NAME
jmap - memory map SYNOPSIS
jmap [ option ] pid jmap [ option ] executable core jmap [ option ] [ server-id@ ] remote-hostname-or-IP DESCRIPTION
jmap prints shared object memory maps or heap memory details of a given process or core file or remote debug server. NOTE - This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in future versions of the J2SE SDK. jmap is not currently available on Windows platforms or on the Linux Itanium platform. PARAMETERS
option Options are mutually exclusive. Option, if used, shouldfollow immediately after the command name. pid process id for which the memory map is to be printed. The process must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes running on a machine, jps may be used. executable Java executable from which the core dump was produced. core core file for which the memory map is to be printed. remote-hostname-or-IP remote debug server's (see jsadebugd) hostname or IP address. server-id optional unique id, if multiple debug servers are running on the same remote host. OPTIONS
<no option> When no option is used jmap prints shared object mappings. For each shared object loaded in the target VM, start address, the size of the mapping, and the full path of the shared object file are printed. This is similar to the Solaris pmap util- ity. -heap Prints a heap summary. GC algorithm used, heap configuration and generation wise heap usage are printed. -histo Prints a histogram of the heap. For each Java class, number of objects, memory size in bytes, and fully qualified class names are printed. VM internal class names are printed with '*' prefix. -permstat Prints class loader wise statistics of permanent generation of Java heap. For each class loader, its name, liveness, address, parent class loader, and the number and size of classes it has loaded are printed. -h Prints a help message. -help Prints a help message. SEE ALSO
