Few of the processes are getting more meory usage and I checked by using top command.
It is displaying as 0.6% for each process. Does it mean that it is using 0.6% of the total memory?
How can I find exact memory usage?
I've been unable to limit the size of a process to keep it from hosing a system. I've tried the following methods:
- RLimitMEM for just Apache (although I'd like this to apply to any process in the system)
- ulimit
- PAM limits.conf (/etc/security/limits.conf)
In theory, either ulimit or limits.conf should do the trick, but when I start up Apache and run a test script to build up some memory, it doesn't get killed off. Is there any way to do what I want? I'll even take kernel modification as an option. We're running CentOS 4.4, but I don't have a problem with swapping out for another kernel.
How can I find which file or process is using/eating up the bandwidth?
I have a server which is using lots of bandwidth 8GB/hour.
how to know which processes are consuming the most memory?
I 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?
Yet another topic about process/memory management : )
I have a 256 RAM VPS and I need to free up more memory, Im using cpanel and when i use the "top" command, those are the major memory consumers!
PS.: I removed some of the list cause I know i really need them

So, my basic question is, which of them I donīt need? SOme of them I know what is it but still have some questions...
1-cpsrvd-ssl , i know this means someone(me) is connected to cpanel, but even if I log out the process stills there, is that normal ?
2-authProg , sometimes there are a lot of those process running, what is that? is that normal ?
3-exim, 3 process running, is that normal ? exim is better than sendmail ?
4-After those questions, which process am I able to drop(and how?) - I only need email forwarding(that is already working), smtp, mysql(already working too), and tomcat server.
I have been looking everywhere for a program that can monitor a process's CPU usage and if it exceeds a certain percentage for a given amount of time, kill the process.
Everywhere I look, it's either doesn't kill automatically, or is for Linux. Can anyone recommend me a program that can do this for Windows 2003?
just noticed mysql cpu usage has shot up from its usual 5-10% cpu to 30%+. domains are as normal and no extraordinary php processes.
any way i can tell what users are most heavily running mysql? (as in number queries / slow queries etc?) i know mysqladmin processlist but that only gives me a snapshot, whereas i want to see over 24 hours, who used mysql the most...
It seems that a user may get more percentage of memory purchased for real use. I've got a xen VPS which has access to all 8 CPU cores. Guess this is a good thing to be able to burst CPU resources
[xwu@atom ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | awk '{a++} END {print a}'
8
But this requires lots of kthread running to be able to access all CPU resources, which in turn consumes quite some memory, a valuable, limited resource on a small VPS instance.
[xwu@atom ~]$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Mem
MemTotal: 524288 kB
MemFree: 276128 kB
The output above is grathered when almost no other services are running except sshd.
While XEN VPS surely consumes more memory than OVZ VPS, I would suggest the Xen VPS can be built in such a way less memory is required to just do the housekeeping.
Of course, that would imply careful provisioning, maybe less "overselling" for the sake of lack of a term. The bottom line is how we can reduce the memory usage, while ensure individual VPS instance can still have fair share of CPU if needed.
Is there anyway in the VPS kernel config which can disable access to certain CPU core, thus reducing the number of kthreads and etc?
I do not know if i have problems with my vps but "top" output looks strange for me. It looks like apache processes have huge VIRT parameter and all processes have huge SWAP param.
My VPS 712 guaranteed and 1024 burstable. I'm running 10 virt hosts with very small traffic. Totally not more than 500 visits/day. Most of sites are static and only two are PHP.
Apache and PHP configuration are very standard.
Here is top output: ...
this is my machine's vmstat result

1 1 0 1864 16352 34576 146252 0 3 541 106 146 142 6 23 71
I want to free some space
How can I do that?
how much adding php to apache will increase memory usage on a VPS? This would be php5.
I need it to use phpMyAdmin to manage my MySQL database (actual site is running off tomcat but jspmyadmin won't work for some reason).
Or can someone recommend a database design tool (I've used toad data modeler before) which I can use on my home pc to generate SQL statements for execution on the server (and please don't say notepad).
We have a server that is rebooting, we saw that free memory reaches almost 0 before the server reboot.

Is the time to increase RAM server or would be a hardware problem?
Those of you who work with shared hosting, how much memory per customer do you allow for PHP? What about for Ruby on Rails?

How to find what Perl script is causing high CPU usage?
I logged into my CentOS box tonight and notice after viewing the output of the "top" command that there are the following lines of output that have me concerned. What command can I use to find the source of the Perl script that is causing the CPU spike?
It seems it's been running for some time too.

Am using Hypervm,my all vms are not using more than 512 MB memory but when i click on server as localhost the there is show maximum memory usage I have total 8 GB it always show 5-6 GB usage and never drop down, How can I fix this matters?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering about DA memory load. Like CPANEL load around 300mb and LXADMIN about 20mb. I was going to get VPS with 256 only to host 40-50 church sites with just static html, not dynamic or anything. Greatly appreciated with your input. I'm still learning all of this
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a VPS with 384 MB RAM, with free about 100-120 MB. I've upgraded to 512 MB (to have some other features...). I notice that the memory usage is always about 250-300 MB. For example, now:
Code:
[root@host ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 512 311 200 0 0 0

Does anyone know if MySQL 5.1 or 5.0 uses less memory than 4.1 does?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm currently playing with my dedicated server, it isn't much but for learning purposes it's more than enough.
I have CentOS 5.3 installed on the server.
It's Intel Atom 330 with 2 GB RAM.
Now my question is:
When server is running nothing but basic install memory comsumption is aroun 500-600 MB.
Today I have rsynced 11 GB of data from one of my VPSs to the ded server and the memory comsumption on the server sky rocketed to 2 GB, leaving only 56 Mb free.
Strange.. (for me)
And there was almost no (110 Kb) swap usage.
Now the memory comsumption is ~ 1.2 GB.
Since 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.
Technical data........
My managed dedicated server at 1and 1 has very low load, but quite slow, I was trying to figure out the reason. The top and free command ( I run at midnight without traffic), here is the result. Can anybody tell me if the memory usage is normal, anything suspicious. Look like the memory usage is high even with no traffic, but 1and 1 support say that's because it's reserved for cache.

How much memory have I used?
I have a VPS w/ KnownHost on CPanel and 256mb of RAM (I know, bad mix). It's the newer CPanel that is VPS optimized.
There are 3 websites on it and get < 500 hits/day total on average.
Right now I am at 128mb used/127mb free. It seems higher than it should/needs to be.
I have a Drupal site with around 1000 visitors/day on a basic VPS. (HyperVM with lxadmin) Burstable RAM is 384MB and my site reachs it.
is this normal for a site like this?
anything that I can do to decrease the memory usage?
my grunted memory for apatchi is 51 meg
i want make him 256meg
because the vps its alwayes down

It tells me that I only have 50 MB of memory left and it drops down to ~20 MB after Apache has been running for a while. Once it runs out of that 20 MB I will start swapping right? I have also run this command and do not see any process taking up anywhere close to what is being reported:
ps -eo pid,ppid,rss,vsize,pcpu,pmem,cmd -ww --sort=pid
No process is using more than 1.5% memory and only 3 use this much.
Is Linux caching memory which will be used after I run out?
I have a VPS with 512 MB ram. I have 6 sites hosted on my VPS, of which 3 contains only static pages. My site is not very traffic heavy. Infact I moved to my VPS only 3 months back, until then it was running on a shared server with no problem.
But still, I am always running out of RAM. I have upgraded my account to 512 MB ram from 256MB because of this. Can anyone please tell me how I can find out what is the cause of this excessive memory usage? On rebooting my server, the RAM usage goes down to about 250MB.
i order the latest plan of vps in some company, and got 898MB of dedicated memory, but as you can see in memory usage, how come my memory only 23mb(free usage) i just reboot and memory usage only 23mb, thats why my website taking so long to open other page.
is it my mistake?(im running forum,but only 2 users currently online, and not opening other website) or is it the company server that took somany client.
