Sean, To restate what Philip said: "Linux uses available Memory as file cache"
You are misunderstanding the buff/cache item and assuming there's a problem -- this is an very common (but also incorrect) assumption Please read more on the topic here: https://www.linuxatemyram.com/ Linux is doing smart things to make the server operate faster, this does not have a negative impact on your system, in fact, it is speeding up access times for files since they can be read from memory instead of pulling data from disk/NFS. -Lee On Tue, Sep 13, 2022, 1:21 PM Sean Hulbert <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Thanks for a quick reply Philipp > > > > Looks like there is 8.8G free, however 7.7G in idle seems a bit excessive, > unless I am reading this wrong. > > > > > > *From:* Philipp Zeitschel [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Tuesday, September 13, 2022 10:11 AM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: High memory usage on idle server > > > > Hi, > > > > Linux uses available Memory as file cache > > Look at „available“ > > There you can see that you‘ve got more than 9GB free Memory > > > > Regards > > > > Philipp > > > > Am 13.09.2022 um 19:07 schrieb Sean Hulbert < > [email protected]>: > > > > > > Hello > > > > I am running Guacamole 1.4.0 (Ubuntu 20.04 TLS) with MySQL and MFA, we > have 12G memory allocated to the server and its peaking 11G in usage when > there are no connections. > > What is interesting, our other servers we have allocated 64G ram and on > idle they consume 10G-12G; any thoughts on why these processes are such > pigs? > > > > Here is a TOP Image > > [image: image001.png] > > > >
