Cpanel VPS - Plenty Of Free Memory, But 'committed' Memory Exceeds VPS RAM
Jun 12, 2009I have a VPS. And have had an issue both when it was 1Gig and now I recently downgraded it to 768m, because I am moving some sites to a dedicated.
However, the part I am having trouble grasping is that when I look at graphs from Munin, it will typically always show 200-400MB free memory (and free -m and top agrees with munin), but Munin shows 'committed' memory that is above the total Ram on the VPS and once the 'committed' ram exceeds the VPS limit, processes start failing.
So, why is 'committed' memory exceeding the RAM on my VPS, when Munin, free -m and top all show there is free memory available?
Code:
root@server [~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 768 449 318 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 449 318
Swap: 0 0 0
Here's a graph that munin produces that shows the 'committed' memory exceeding the total memory.

Server Memory
Sep 27, 2009We have an IBM X336 with dual Xeon 3.4s. This machine natively takes PC2-3200-ECC-Unbuffered - 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM.
Has anyone had any experience with ECC ran on if it will clock down?
For instance can I install PC2-5300 same memory type (240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM) will it work? (I would test it but I dont have any ).
I know it works in desktops but never have had a reason to do it in servers.
[For whatever reason the PC2-3200 is more expensive than the PC2-5300.]
Server Unresponsive ( Out Of Memory )
Apr 8, 2009I've run into an issue lately with a few servers that I support and I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions on how to approach the issue?
Scenario:
The server will stop responding to new network connections, I can ping it, but nothing more. When the DC looks at the server, they find the error " Out of Memory " on the console.
What is a good approach to troubleshooting these?
Here is what I do, if I'm off base, I'm here to learn and will read
find / -name "core.*" -ls | egrep core.[0-9]
**try and find software failure
df -h
**validate disk usage
** check /var/log/messages /var/log/dmesg
If I can't find anything obvious in those places, I start digging through the access_logs and error_log to try and find a giant influx of requests that could have hit the server too quickly to process thus filling the memory up.
In this case, I adjust the rlimits.
*shrug* This is not fixing the issue on a few servers and I'm curious how other people approach this problem? Could this be hardware?
My Server Memory Usage Is 100%
Jun 10, 2009Since a short while back my server memory usage is 100%. The amount of
visitors decreased so the memory should be lower in consumption than before.
I suspect a newly installed script could have bugs or misuse of the
server by hackers. I don't know how to see on the server what script or
what part makes the memory use so high. I see Apache is very high but
I'm on VPS.

32 GB Premium Server Memory
Jun 15, 2009Is that much - 32 GB Premium Server Memory?
Simplehelix.com offers that in their plans and I wonder if it's enough for high-intensive web sites.
Server Overclocking :: 40.0% Memory
May 28, 2008I have a server and run Cpanel for my company. On my panel where it shows how much resources i use. It shows i am using.
40.0% Memory
Is there a way i can extend that to around 60%, so it will be faster. (it still is fast, just to go that extra level)
Server Memory Usage
Mar 6, 2007Currently i have a small server with 512 Mb of ram i doing some minor hosting..
sometimes..my free memory is only left with 15 mb..is there a concern down here?
is there anyway i can find out what are using up my memory..? And should i just upgrade to 1Gb instead?
Somtimes my mail queue ..will also take up like 20 to 30 mb of memory as they keep on trying to resend themself
Server Memory Leaks
Feb 1, 2008i'm running Suse 10 linux server in my company, and that server is used primary for graphing solutions, and data gathering.
server is fujitsu-siemens primergy rx100 s2 - suse was the only OS that detected disc controllers at that time.
It runs tons of queries to bunch of devices via SNMP and stores data in RRD files and some other data to mysql. It also runs a web server for displaying that data.
queries are short PHP script, that runs in CLI mode by cron
Few months ago my company switched to MPLS routing of our local network, and IMHO that was done very bat so sometimes i get timeouts, or networks run very slow.
other thing is that i server is behaving really weird.
Issue 1 - memory leaks or something like that
After restart it works quite fine for about 10-15 days, but after that when i run top i see that apache is using more and more VIRT memory, it starts with 8 megs per process and ends up with 150-200 megs per process.
things i tried to fix:
recompiled from scratch (php,mysql,httpd,snmp,maybee even libc but i'm not shure about that) all latest stable version, no improvements - when it runs it runs like hell, but after few days it starts to eat memory again.
Issue 2 - strange CPU load
after few days of flawless work, when it starts to eat memory it starts increase load, BUT in period of 08-20h load increases up to 100 and then suddenly drops to 1-2... and then in next morning it starts to rise again
only thing that comes to my mind is that ether:
- some computer is infected wit some virus, so in work hours it kills my machine - but ther is nothing weird in netstat
- doe tho lousy MPLS routing server is getting bunch of timeouts in work hours when we have large amounts of traffic, so the poll queue get larger and larger (cron runs every five minutes)
-everything is messed up - i need to reinstall everything (I'll rather shoot my self in the foot )
so what i'm asking here is HOW to gather data on what exactly is happening on that server, I'm quite experienced in writing shell scripts so it would not be a problem for me to write some custom scripts to analyze traffic, ports, (using iptraf) i just need someone to tell me WHAT and WHERE to look.
P.S. 1
Almost Everything on server is compiled by me, in order to get maximum from hardware. No RPM's
P.S. 2 PHP and Mysql are already well tuned and optimized - query cache works, APC is installed, for first 10 or so days it can handle A LOT of load without a problem.
Memory In HP Proliant DL 360 Server
May 29, 2007We have a HP Proliant DL 360 Server, it was running with 2gb RAM, this consisted of 4 x 512mb sticks. We upgraded by adding another 4gb, this was 2 x 2gb sticks, so we removed 2 of the 512mb sticks and replaced with 2 x 2gb stickes, effectively giving us 5gb of RAM. When I rebooted the machine at the server centre it immediately displayed 5 gb of RAM as it run thru boot up, it then displayed a screen saying it had found the RAM (it looked like a BIOS type, although I'm no expert) I think if my memory serves me right it then confirmed the memory was OK and continued booting into Windows 2003. However when we viewed the maching remotely it is only showing 4gb of RAM. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? where would are missing RAM be? I guess its the 2 x 512 not displaying. Its awkward to access the server easily, it means making an appointment etc, I wondered if there is anything we can do remotely to configure the RAM.

Oct 26, 2007I'm running a Fedora box and am getting these kinds of messages in /var/log/messages:
Oct 26 13:41:20 tx kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c
I have a feeling this is a memory error and am looking for a way to confirm this.
I found a package called memtest86+ (via yum) but have never used it. Have any of you used this program in the past and if so what are the steps? Does the server have to be shut down? Are there other programs out there to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Why Server Memory Is Important
Oct 27, 2007today i was asked if my server support ruby on the rail. The person said that the rail needs at least 256Mb of free RAM to run it. Is it true?
I checked my server memory by using TOP command and saw that it has less than 10MB of free RAM. My question: Where does it go? I got only 30 sites running and mostly are static site and No proxy.
what eats up memory? What ways can i use to free up my memory?
New Dedi Server - Memory Not Going Below 87%?
Oct 7, 2007I've recently purchased a new dedicated box and am noticing via phpsyinfo that memory is pretty much always around 87% (It was at 97% used today for a good hour and quite often its at 90+%)
This system has a 1GB of ram, and runs DirectAdmin. There are only 4 sites on the server and none of them are busy sites currently.
I've read around and studied a few of the threads here on WHT regarding high memory usage but I am at abit of a loss on the cause here and what I can do.
I found a few commands to run to help try and establish the cause - After running ps aux I noticed:

Memory Usage :: Put More Content Into Memory?
Jul 16, 2009I just got a new server Dual E5520 with 6GB RAM, SAS 15k rpm raid10. It's running well. However, the memory usage is just around 2.5GB, even when I have more traffic. Here is the kernel info

Any idea that we can put more content into memory?
Server Sucking Up Memory And Using Swap
Jan 25, 2007I have a server that I have had for a little while now that was runnning perfectly fine. All of the sudden it started just using up a ton of the memory and started using up swap. This has caused the server to slow down and e-mail to stop working. I would upgrade to more memory but I suspect it is someone on the server doing something they shouldn't be. My only reasoning for this is due to the fact that this problem just suddenly arised. I cannot for the life of me determine where this ram usage is coming from.
Here are a few of the errors I have recently got just while logging in..
RIGHT after logging in...
id: cannot find name for group ID 0
id: cannot find name for user ID 0
[root@www root]# top
top: Unknown terminal "xterm" in $TERM
[root@www root]# killall -9 spamd
bash: /usr/bin/killall: Too many open files in system
I have added 2 screen shots as well. First one (top1) is what happens once I can get the command "top" to actually run (normally takes quite a few tries). Second attachement (top2) is after I sorted by mem usage...
Server Kept Crashing Due To Lack Of Memory
Dec 4, 2008I have a VPS , I recently upgraded because the server kept crashing due to lack of memory. I actually upgraded about two hours ago and the damn thing crashed again!
I went into virtuozzo and it said I had 12 mb of memory left.
So I restarted the container, the site loads faster than ever, and says I have 16% of memory left
So when I restart the container it resets?
My Server Works Slow But It's Ok Of Memory
Nov 29, 2007My server is hosted within a Virtuozzo VPS Server, and it runs very slow. Sometimes, when I type commands via shell, it takes 1-2 seconds to be echoed.
I've just checked free memory ('free -m') and it seems to be ok:
Code:
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 8104 7642 461 0 220 3979
-/+ buffers/cache: 3443 4661
Swap: 4094 0 4094
If I check "ps -ef" I don't see any weird process and with "top" the most memory-wasting process is 'mysqld' (0.8%).
Which extra parameters might I check?
Server Status / Memory Usage Info
Jun 16, 2009My VPS host is (for now) still using LxAdmin, but is no longer allowing login to HyperVM for reboots and access to system info. Please, tell me exactly how to use SSH to check the current memory usage on my VPS.
Quote:
Viewing your current resource usage
Log in via SSH, I normally use the Putty client for this.
Commands:
top: your current server load & resource usage.
ps aux: all your processes & which ones are using the most memory/cpu
free -m: allocated memory, usage & free memory
Is the command line really *easy* once you get used to it?
Eating Cache Memory, Then Server Crash
Dec 3, 2007My RAM is 2G.
The cache memory of my server is eating, After 2 weeks, the cache memory is below 1G, then the server crashed.
After I reboot the machine, the cache memory back to normal. But it starts to eating again.
I have attached the graph.
I am using lighttpd, php, mysql
High Memory Usage - Cpanel Server

High Server Load! Swap And Memory Usage
Nov 19, 2007I have a linux server that is only hosting one site , and although the httpd and mysql are working well , then the server load is high and when I restart the server the server load is high till the swap accelerates to 100% and then it uses the memory alot.

Memory Issues On JaguarPC VPS. Suggestions? Recommend A Virtual Private Server (VPS)
Jun 17, 2008I recently moved my site from a shared hosting plan at $5 a month to a VPS at JaguarPC. I took advantage of one of the offers here at Web Host Talk. My setup has cPanel with 320MB of RAM. I have another site running the same software (Joomla, vBulletin) with cPanel and only 256MB of RAM at KnownHost.
I've had zero problems with Knownhost and the site is snappy. The site hosted at JaguarPC continues to have all kinds of problems. Running a number of sites, I don't always get to check in on my sites unless I know of a problem. I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to this site, because it was having all types of PHP memory issues. When I first contacted JaguarPC, they said they boosted the memory in Apache. The issues remained, so I contacted them again. They recommended more RAM. Now, I checked on my KnownHost site and that's running on 256MB. I figured that maybe JaguarPC didn't allocate enough RAM when they set up the VPS. They confirmed 320MB. Not wanting to change hosts, I asked them to poke around a bit more, considering what I know about KnownHost and my success there.
I received this response:
have checked and you are running named service on your server. named caches dns data and this can also consume a lot of memory, sometimes over a 100 MB may be consumed by this service.
In addition to cPanel and named which are most memory consuming applications running on your server, there are other applications like apache web server and the php scripts running on the server also consume some memory.
It is highly recommended that you upgrade the RAM on your VPS significantly to avoid such problems which may cause disruption of service. You can find a list of RAM and other VPS addons in the following link.
Instead of helping me resolve the problem, they simply keep asking me to get more RAM.
For SEO purposes, I like to keep my sites on different hosts. Can anyone recommend a VPS?
I was certainly unaware that "named service" had such an impact on my VPS. If that's the case, is there any harm in not having this? SEO or otherwise?

I'm Missing 7 GB Of Ram: Installed Physical Memory 8 GB / Total Physical Memory 1 GB
Apr 4, 2009I just ordered a server from serverbeach that should have come with 2 GB but I see that this one comes with 8 GB
Unfortunately, I seem to be missing 7 GB of ram.
Installed Physical Memory: 8 GB
Total Physical Memory: 1 GB

Now, being a 32-bit system, I should see 3-4 GB of ram right?
Any idea why only 1 GB is available for the OS?

512MB Memory VPS... Out Of Memory Already
Oct 1, 2009I have a 512mb DV server with Mediatemple, which I am running 24 (ish) domains off (most of them static websites) and a teamspeak server. I would say MAX theres 10 users online at a time)
Now, I know its running out of memory because i get frequent QoS Alerts in plesk (kmemsize is apparently the memory size):
Oct 01, 2009 11:52:57 AMBlack zonekmemsize
I have attached my results (when I did top).
My questions are:
1. Should I be expecting to be out of memory running what I am?
2. Is there a way to see the problem domains (memory wise)?
3. Are there any ways I can reduce the memory? (I have followed this already:

4. Where is the memory usage coming from (I am finding it very hard to understand TOP)

Jul 12, 2008The memory usage on my server is fine, I watched the CPUs for a long time and watched the server load also, the CPUs were easily riding along not often going over 20% (I have 2) yet the thing is, the server load is very strangely going mad... It's rarely under 6.0 (2 cpus) and sometimes goes into 20s, yet the server doesn't slow, nothing stops working but it simply goes red and shows it's bad news.
I've been told that the only other thing that might be causing this is the hard drives... I have 2x160GB 7200rpm hard drives - not sure if they are SATA etc..
If anyone has any ideas as to why the server load is so high - but everything else is fine -
