Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Kill top 5 memory uses process Post 302947786 by gandolf989 on Monday 22nd of June 2015 09:21:54 AM

If you are running a database or a web server, then either or both are likely to be in the top 5 processes for memory. You may want to look at how much memory is allocated by the applications on your server and shrink the memory pool of those applications. You would likely need to restart the applications. Hence you should probably get downtime.

If you kill the wrong process you will probably need a reboot, and if you don't change the memory allocation, you will still be short on memory after the reboot.

numastat

NUMACTL(8)						   Linux Administrator's Manual 						NUMACTL(8)

NAME

       numastat - Print statistics about NUMA memory allocation

SYNOPSIS

       numastat

DESCRIPTION

       numastat  displays  NUMA  allocations  statistics from the kernel memory allocator.  Each process has NUMA policies that specifies on which
       node pages are allocated. See set_mempolicy(2) or numactl(8) on details of the available policies.  The numastat  counters  keep  track	on
       what nodes memory is finally allocated.

       The counters are separated for each node. Each count event is the allocation of a page of memory.

       numa_hit is the number of allocations where an allocation was intended for that node and succeeded there.

       numa_miss shows how often an allocation was intended for this node, but ended up on another node due to low memory.

       numa_foreign  is  the  number of allocations that were intended for another node, but ended up on this node.  Each numa_foreign event has a
       numa_miss on another node.

       interleave_hit is the number of interleave policy allocations that were intended for a specific node and succeeded there.

       local_node is incremented when a process running on the node allocated memory on the same node.

       other_node is incremented when a process running on another node allocated memory on that node.

SEE ALSO

       numactl(8) set_mempolicy(2) numa(3)

NOTES

       numastat output is only available on NUMA systems.

       numastat assumes the output terminal has a width of 80 characters and tries to format the output accordingly.

EXAMPLES

       watch -n1 numastat
       watch -n1 --differences=accumulative numastat

FILES

       /sys/devices/system/node/node*/numastat

BUGS

       The output formatting on machines with a large number of nodes could be improved.
