Operating Systems Linux Underutilization of Linux memory Post 303044176 by Neo on Sunday 16th of February 2020 07:13:01 AM

To further illustrate this point, I have a Linux (Ubuntu) server running (in VM mode) only MQTT services and Node-RED (for the most part), and I just did this on a real, live server in production:

Code:
root@localhost:~# swapoff -a

I am also graphing the performance, which currently looks like this:

Underutilization of Linux memory-screen-shot-2020-02-16-71101-pmjpg


I will post the same graph in one day to compare.

Then, after that, I will do the same for an even busier Linux server (Ubuntu, dedicated server, running many web services and sites, MQTT, backups, and more)..... to illustrate.

After turning off swap on this system:

Code:

....
...
...

24 hours from now I will post the graphs and update on this VM Ubuntu instance.

Nothing but the facts .... no guesses, no opinions, and no personal preferences in this test. Just "turn off swap" and show the results at the same time, a day later.

Code:
ubuntu_vm# uptime
 13:15:58 up 116 days, 11:56,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
