Hi,

Can you check for the second field running this command?
Code:
ps -eo pid,pmem,user,args | grep -v "PID" | sort -nr -k 2

This should give you what process is eating memory (shows in percentage). Is that what you are looking for?

Good command, it shows me amount of memory eating up by processes. But it seems applications are not culprit
Code:
/# ps -eo pid,pmem,user,args | grep -v "PID" | sort -nr -k 2

As bartus11 and jlliagre said, just page cache is high, which is good for server in a way. I just need to think, how to convince Big Brother :-) as it is still saying 92% of memory is consumed.
