To answer your immediate question: as the zenoss user, type `zenmodeler --help` and look for the command-line option to generate a conf file. I always like to throw this out: memory management under Linux will try use as much RAM as it can, to avoid swapping to disk. It is not uncommon to see a working server with only a few MB of free memory. But unless that server is doing a lot of disk swapping, it may just be running as expected. I know I have 2GB in my zenoss VM, and I usually have about 100MB or less free. On our neteng's zenoss server, they have 8GB and it's normal for them to have about 30MB free, but no swap usage. (However, you will see swapping on a zenoss system that doesn't have enough RAM at its disposal, obviously. It *does* seem to be a memory hog at times...) Of course I'm not saying that this is what's going on, but Linux memory management is somewhat misunderstood sometimes. ;-) I've also heard that the 64-bit version of Zenoss has a larger memory footprint than the 32-bit version. So with all that said: what kind of memory usage are you seeing? Which process is it that's eating your RAM? What version of zenoss are you running? --seth P.S. My apologies if you knew about everything I wrote above and you've already ruled it out, but I've seen this come up on the list a couple of times before and in some cases it turned out to be either an underpowered server or just linux's memory mgmt... :D -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=15106#15106 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
