High memory usage and error creating access rules
Hi guys
I'm having a problem with the memory and also trying to create some rules on the CISCO ASA. The version that I got installed was the 8.2.5.33 on a CISCO 5520 with 512 RAM, the memory usage is on 99% used, 1% free and because of that when I'm trying to create a new rule the firewall brings me the next error
So what I did was a downgrade to the version 8.2 (4) 4 and the memory went down a little (82% used, 18% free) but I still got the error when I'm creating an access rule on the device. One thing and I'm not sure if this could affect on the performance are the number of access list and the object groups that are created.
I already open a case with CISCO TAC and they are checking if the problem is with the memory capacity or maybe a memory leak.
Also the doubt that I got is with the memory that I got now available should I can create access rules or 82 is still to hig to create a rule or and object group?
Regards
Hi,
Can you check what is the amount of ACEs you have on the ACLs in use?
I think if you use the command "show access-list " the first line should give you the total amount of ACEs in the ACL

WebLogic JMS high memory usage and frequent full GCs
Hi Team,
We have below set up in production (and all the lower environment).
1. WLS: 10.3.6 (64 bit)
2. Java: HP JDK 1.7.0.06 (64 bit)
3. Two Manage server instances in cluster with one Migratable target
4. one JMS server with Persistence store targeted to Migratable target
5. Messages are persisted in DB
6. about 37 distributed queues/topics are hosted on one JMS server
7. .Net JMS clients and WebLogic JMS clients connect to respective JMS distributed Queues/topics to either produce message or consume.
Since last month, we see that WebLogic Manage server hosting JMS server keeps on chewing memory "even with small (of the order of 28 messages in 4/5 days) load", GC indicates that objects are shifted from PSYoung space to ParOldGen during minor GCs but ParOldGen space keeps on filling up in smaller chunks. After x number of days (where x ranges from 5-7 days), even Full GC is not able to bring down memory significantly and that's when frequent full GCs start with long pauses making JMS highly unstable.
We don't have JMS Quotas configured but I think something else going on as it is not high on load. Any additional hints or troubleshooting steps is much appreciated?
Here is first and last GC log just to give an idea...

Regards,Thanks Luz. I have been collecting gclogs and heap dumps (whenever app server is high on memory and frequent GCs with long pauses are seen). So far heap dumps haven't revealed anything specific (may be I am not able to read heap dumps properly ) but looking at GC confirms that app server is consuming allocated heap.I was following Oracle WebLogic server support Patter as you have indicated. I thought about opening a ticket with HP but on high level JVM is doing what is suppose to do i.e allocating memory space as needed and performing GC therefore didn't go that path.
Any other suggestions that might be useful. One of the things I forgot to mention ( and I will add it to original message), that one of the .Net consumers is not asynchronously connecting to its queue (to consume messages) rather it is synchronously connects and then if it doesn't find messages it disconnects and process goes on every few seconds. I was reading somewhere that frequent JNDI look ups should be avoided. Can this cause memory issue if so then it is strange as this same set up has been there over a year and we never has problem then?

High Memory Usage and a few other problems
I install Oracle DB 11g R1 into a Window 2003 Server virtual machine (VirtualBox) running on Ubuntu Linux. I did just a "plain jane" install accepting most, if not all, the defaults. When I start the service though, the Mem Usage shoots to @ 400 megs and there are several java.exe's that are also running each with anywhere between 80 and 130 megs. Plus, its seems that they never seem to 'settle'; Oracle.exe and one of the java.exe's are always taking up basically 100% of the processor.
This is just CRUSHING my poor little machine.
Any way to throttle these guys back? I can reinstall if needed. Its not like I've done much with it yet.
Thanks!Your 400M seems quite lightweight - probably based on a VM allocation of 1GB. You are starving the poor thing. You possibly missed this section in the Install manual before you did the install (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32006/reqs.htm#i1011417)
The database instance itself wants between 500M and 750M for the SGA for a minimum 'properly functioning' system.
Any user connections will want roughly 30-50M / connection, although that can vary wildly.
Enterprise Manager (DB Console), being Java (JEE) based, will gobble as much as you give it, and then some.
If you want to cut back, turn off the EM DB Console. If you do not want features, you could always perform a separate CUSTOM dbca creation without Java in the database and there are several other features that you could toss. 11g could probably limp along with as little as 350M. (You seem to be in the limping-along arena.)
And yes, the internals to Oracle Database do dictate fairly significant memory, CPU and disk (esp bandwidth) utilization. Your poor machine is being crushed because you have mismatched it to the load. -
High disk usage/high memory usage.
i keep getting high memory usage and high disk usage in ps cs6.
its slow when i open a file. how can i solve this problem.
thank you.
philip.Not to put too fine a point on it, but more than what? More RAM is almost always better, but you haven't answered most of the questions posed here. The answer might be different if you have 2 GB of RAM or 32 GB of RAM already. A 9 megapixel document could get rather large with a lot of layers, but again you've neglected to give any hard info about its size.
Regarding your video card, that's a bit of a judgment call you need to make. For Photoshop CS6 I currently advise people to try to get a video card that gets a score of 1000 or better on this benchmark: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Video card speed will matter when you're editing those 3D components and video card VRAM will also matter, but possibly even more importantly your GeForce 320 is a bit old, and nVidia may just not be doing their best driver work for it any more.
Everything in general will run more smoothly with a powerful modern video card. I like to recommend a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 7750 - or if the computer power supply and your budget allow, the even more powerful 7850. VisionTek does a very good job with their hardware, IMO, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Keep in mind that if you switch from nVidia to ATI or vice versa, you should carefully sweep your system to ensure all files from the old card are removed, then visit the web site of the new card's maker and download/install their latest display driver release.
Best of luck.

IcedTea High CPU usage and multiple jobs created
High CPU usage and multiple jobs created while streaming data via a java applet from a secure/certified website. CPU usage is normal for a few minutes then suddenly jobs multiply and CPU usage climbs on one of the jobs.
Jobs with the following command begin to multiply in my job queue with one job showing CPU usage at 368% and staying resident in memory (yeah, a long one):
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/bin/java -Xbootclasspath/a:/usr/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar:/usr/share/icedtea-web/plugin.jar:/usr/share/java/js.jar: -classpath /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar sun.applet.PluginMain /run/user/1000/icedteaplugin-tbattist-SZ3xKO/7160-icedteanp-plugin-to-appletviewer /run/user/1000/icedteaplugin-tbattist-SZ3xKO/7160-icedteanp-appletviewer-to-plugin /run/user/1000/icedteaplugin-tbattist-SZ3xKO/7160-icedteanp-plugin-debug-to-appletviewer

I also get the following message in my system log when starting to stream:

Anybody having this issue or clue on what to do? I am wondering if recent changes to openssl (heartbleed) might have java change ramifications? Should I submit bug to Icedtea?

Here is a good tutorial on Java. Evidently, what I called "jobs" is referred to as processes and threads in this tutorial. The tutorial states that multithreaded execution is an essential feature of the Java platform which explains the avalanche of threads I observe. However, I am still stumped at what causes the avalanche of threads and excessive CPU consumption for such a mediocre task. Also the system log says that IcedTea has an error stating "Application title was not found in manifest. Check with application vendor". I interpret this to mean that IcedTea does not recognized some application. What application? .....the applet? -
Norton reports high memory usage with firefox and it crashes often
Norton antivirus 2011 has pop up warnings reporting high memory usage from Firefox. I have been getting theem often and my computer is crashing often after those pop up warnings. Thanks
Safe mode did not help.
I have disabled ALL extensions and plug-ins, but the problem with "zig-zag" memory usage still remains (I've not tried to leave browser open for the night yet).
I think I'll do clean reinstall with completely new empty profile (without sync'ed information) to try this out. If this works, I'll start adding stuff (configuration, sync, features, etc) to see what causes the problem. -
We are observing high memory usage for each callable/prepared stmt, using 10.2.0.1.0 JDBC Driver. The char[] in oracle/jdbc/driver/T4CVarcharAccessor was alloted 64K to 320K and grows with usage. This problem is worse with 10.1.0.2. driver which was alloted 720K byte of memory for each stmt right at the start.
We found this by doing a JVM heap dump and analyzing the heap dump using IBM's heap analyser. Here is a snapshot of the heap dump for this object:
321,240 [216] 11 oracle/jdbc/driver/T4CVarcharAccessor 0x72752968
- 320,616 [320,616] 0 char[] 0x72761028
- 216 [216] 0 short[] 0x727527d8
- 72 [32] 1 java/lang/String 0x727530a0
- 24 [24] 0 int[] 0x72752938
- 24 [24] 0 int[] 0x72752948
- 24 [24] 0 int[] 0x72752958
- 16 [16] 0 bool[] 0x72752928
- 16 [16] 0 byte[] 0x727528b0
- 16 [16] 0 bool[] 0x72752918
- 10,336 [88] 15 oracle/jdbc/driver/T4CMAREngine 0x712e7128
- 1,544 [1,032] 79 oracle/jdbc/driver/T4CPreparedStatement 0x72754c58
It is repeated many times for each prepared/callable stmt call.
Details of our platform is:
Database - Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
JDBC Driver - Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) JDBC Drivers
JDK - [Classic VM, Version 1.4.2] from [IBM Corporation]
Our callable stmts are not using any of the Oracle caching facility. It is a simple call stmt with OUT parameters and the stmt is closed after each execution. However, we implement our own connection pooling and do not close the connection after each stmt.
Is there a workaround to this? Would appreciate any feedback.What is happening is that each new CallableStatement you create allocates a new char[]. I would strongly encourage you to use the implicit statement cache if at all possible. That way instead of creating a new statement each time with a new char[] you will get an already existing statement and reuse the existing char[]. Closing a statement releases the char[] so if you really are closing the statements the char[]s should be GC'd.

Ultra high memory usage when deleting a slide show
Hallo,
I have a DVD project with several menus and slideshows and a huge flowchart. I wanted to delete one of the slide shows. What happened then was that the memory usage rised up to over 2 GB. Not the usage of the exe shown in the windows task manager under "processes", but the swap file usage.
The first time I waited for like 5 minutes, and then Encore closed itself. Without any error message.
The next time I waited as long again, but then the swap file usage went down slowly again. After that Encore refreshed its window. The flow chart was what you could best describe as "broken". Encore then stated some abnormal condition and offered me to save the file, and recommended to save it under a different file name. I clicked on "ok", but instead of a file save dialog a C++ runtime error box appeared. I click "ok" for that, then the "you should save but under a different name" box appeared again. I clicked on "ok" again, the C++ error reappeared, and after clicking on "ok" there Encore closed itself.
I made a screenshot on which you can see the high swap file memory usage and the broken flowchart. You can download the screenshot under
http://www.digitale-bibliothek.de/Downloads/ScreenEncoreDVD.jpg
I will now try to first delete all references to the slideshow in the flow chart. But as I cannot delete an asset that is still used in a slideshow or a timeline, Encore DVD should also prevent me from deleting objects that are used in the flowchart, if it is such a problem for Encore to delete the object then.
Regards,
Christian KirchhoffI'm a little confused as to where you tried to delete the slideshow from.
Was it from the actual Project Browser, where all the assets are listed?
Can you try deleting the surplus slideshow from there, and let us know what happens please? -
Sudden high memory usage, can't find cause
I did a big update yesterday, and today I've started to notice very high memory usage. I wasn't keeping track before so I can't say how much it increased, but I've never had problems before, and the slowness and lack of responsiveness have been noticeable, though I haven't ruled out other possible causes for that. Here's the output of 'free -m':
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7971 7826 144 0 1 149
-/+ buffers/cache: 7674 296
Swap: 9215 458 8757
It wasn't as bad as that right after startup, though usage still seemed suspiciously high. What makes this whole thing a mystery to me is that none of my running processes seem to be using that much memory! Here's the output of 'top -b -n 1':

I wouldn't expect the '%MEM's to add up to exactly the real usage, but this isn't even close! So, what could be using up all of my memory? I have /tmp mounted to ram, but that's only a few megabytes. I really have no idea where to go from here.
The relevant portion of my pacman log is below, since I don't know how to get just a compact list of the updated packages. Most notably, the kernel was upgrades, from 3.9.9-1 to 3.10.3-1.

Reverting to the 13.6 version solved the problem. Lesson learned: if there's a ton of memory being used that isn't owned by a running process, start looking for bug reports involving drivers. Especially drivers known for being, well, pretty bad. Was there any method I could have used that would have told me that Catalyst was using all my ram, or is kernel-space memory usage pretty much a black box?

Alerts from Norton re high memory usage by plugin-container.exe
Running Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3. The details from Norton are as follows:
1. Program Path C:\program files\Mozilla firefox\plugin-container.exe
2. Program Description - Plugin Container for Firefox
3. Memory - 1,676 MB used
4. Disk Write Activity - 10 MB (total for this process)
5. File Origin - Source File = updater.exe, File Created: firefox.exe,updater.exe,plugin-container.exeProbably the alerts are nothing to worry about, and you may wish to suppress that particular alert.
On a couple of old spec legacy machines I recently switched. <br>Partly because of economics, and partly because , of the two, <br> Norton can perform better (in my opinion) on legacy machines.
The first thing I did notice was that Norton does pulse updates and background tasks very frequently (configurations can be changed) by default, and flags up quite a number of alerts.
The Norton (NIS) 'Insight' facility will be flagging up firefox plugin container.exe. It can be configured to suppress the alerts from firefox plugin container, but unless disabled will probably just flag up another busy process or application. It is not flagging it up because it is a known security problem, merely because of the amount of activity.
I imagine the alerts are when you are playing videos, probably with FlashPlayer, and may well depend on the resolution/quality of the videos.
If you think the results are unusual or unexpected see:
*[[High memory usage]]
*[[Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources]]
PS not sure what is happening with this post are some phrases unacceptable eg alternative expressions about economics; one paragraph was behaving oddly in preview resorted to manually adding break tags to keep it within the container. -
Fileserver.exe high memory usage
Hi all,
I am using BOXI3.0 installed on Tomcat & Windows Server 2003. I discover there is a high memory usage of fileserver.exe, always over 50%. After reboot the SIA, the memory usage drops back to 0. I have a regular reboot every weekend but still got that error. Anything I can check?
And in the log, AAMetrics_xxxxxxxxx.log, I found there is an error
assert failure: (d:/Titan_RTM/src/Common/export/iface\cxlib/refcount.h:89). (SNonInterlockedRead(&m_lRefCount) == 0 : no message).
Anyone knows what it is and how to solve it?
Thanks you in advanced.
GraceI am using BOXI 3.0. Do you have any recommendation on which version of fix pack? or simply upgrade to 3.1 is better?
Some people said we cannot upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 directly, instead, we need to uninstall the BOXI 3.0 and reinstall the 3.1. Do you have any experience on it?
Many thanks. -
Very high memory usage..possible memory leak? Solaris 10 8/07 x64
Hi,
I noticed yesterday that my machine was becoming increasingly slow, where once it was pretty snappy. It's a Compaq SR5250NX with 1GB of RAM. Upon checking vmstat, I noticed that the "Free" column was ~191MB. Now, the only applications I had open were FireFox 2.0.11, GAIM, and StarOffice. I closed all of them, and the number reported in the "Free" column became approximately 195MB. "Pagefile" was about 5.5x that size. There were no other applications running and it's a single user machine, so I was the only one logged in. System uptime: 9 days.
I logged out, logged back in, to see if that had an affect. It did not. Rebooted and obviously, that fixed it. Now with only FireFox, GAIM, and a terminal open, vmstat reports "Free" as ~450MB. I've noticed if I run vmstat every few seconds, the "Free" total keeps going down. Example:

In any event, we can see that FireFox is sucking up 145MB (??!?!!? crazy...) XSun, 200MB, and java 190MB. I'm running Java Desktop System (Release 3) so I assume that is what accounts for the the high memory usage RE: java process. But, XSun, 200MB?
Is this normal and I just need to toss another gig in, or what?

SA520W - High memory usage, possible fix in 2.2.0 firmware?
As suggested by Thomas Watts, I'm starting a new thread to discuss the new SA520W firmware (2.2.0) and a possible resolution to high memory usage I'm experiencing on my network.
My current setup is: 16Mbit DSL > SA520W > SA300-10, all with stock settings (no fancy VLAN's etc.)
I have 4 CentOS 5/6 servers and a Windows 7 Ultimate station connected to the switch. I use CIFS to connect from Windows station to the other Linux servers and send large files. I currently notice the following behavior:
When the file transfer starts, the Intel 1Gbit NIC is nearly saturated, hitting 115MB/sec. After few seconds, the data transfer comes to a halt and the transfer speed drops to around 50MB/sec. If I check the memory usage before the file transfer, it is approximately to 50-60% (on a fresh router reboot). Every time I send large files to other machines, the router memory consumption increases and it does not lower after a reasonable delay. I end-up with high memory near 90% and the only solution I have is to reboot the router in order to bring it back to 50%.
Now, Thomas told me that this is simply a cosmetic issue, the memory is not actually 90% used. Yet, when the memory hits this threshold, I'm not capable to send files are normal LAN speeds I'm used to. Rebooting the router allows me to send only ONCE (and for few seconds) data at the expected LAN speeds.
I would apreciate any input from Cisco engineers as well other users who experience the same issue. I would also like to know if any related work was done into 2.2.0 firmware and when we expect to have it released to users.
Regards,
Floren MunteanuHi Tom,
See below the answers.
Are you currently running the 2.1.71 code?
Yes
Are you using IPS?
No, the LAN is for internal use (no external users allowed)
Are you using Protectlink services?
No
Hardware wise, I did not changed anything on machines. All boxes have dual Intel EXPI9301CT NIC's (LACP was planned) but I currently use single connections for sanity reasons (disks won't allow greater speeds anyway). Previous to Cisco, I used a Netgear ProSafe router + switch which did not encountered the issues I mention. Honestly, at first I thought I'm dealing with some stupid disk issues on Windows. So I ran a quick test and the stats are proper:

> Latency: Maximum 118.231 ms 7.6
> Average Read Time with Random Writes 13.346 ms 3.7
> Total Run Time 00:01:39.50
As I mentioned before, everything is pretty much stock on router/switch settings. If you have any tips that allow me to identify the cause, I would appreciate the input. What puzzles me is the speed drop and quick memory usage increase. It occurs 7-10 seconds after the transfers begins. It looks like the data transfer hangs for a very short period of time (less than half of second) and the transfer speed decreases from 110-115MB/sec to 50-60MB/sec. The transfer is completed at this speed. No matter how many other files I try to transfer after, the speed won't go higher than 60MB/sec. If I reboot the router, I get the same cycle. -
When loading a page with many hires images, Firefox becomes really slow and scrolling becomes jumpy then eventually becomes completely unresponsive. Unusual high memory usage of up to 2gigs just for firefox when loading these pages. This was never a problem with v3.6.
I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy... -
High memory usage OSX Lion on iMac
Hi,
Recently upgraded 2006 iMac 6.1 to OSX 10.7.2 (4GB). Noticed performance dropped significantly when 2 or more users are logged in especially when switching users. Observed memory usage for OSX Lion is far higher than Snow Leopard! By startup 2GB real memory already allocated and often down to last 500MB. Performance appear to slow down due to swapping as swap i/o appears to increase.
On snow leopard I had 6 users logged in and 4GB was plenty. Lion appears to be a MS product!!!!
Anyone else experienced high memory usage on Lion and any ideas how to reduce memory consumption?
Unfortunately at the maximum memory capacity for my my iMac so need to find ways to reduce memory usage. There must be a kernel compiler option that could reduce memory.....
Also considering SSD drive to speed up swap i/o read/writes.
Otherwise will have to go back to leopard :-(
Thanks for any help in advance.
-Dav
PS> OSX Lion is alot more stable than previous OSX releases with this iMac model. Especially iMacs suffering the notorious NVDIDIA GPU heat problems...You mac can handle up to 3gb of ram, but slightly more will be available with 4gb installed. For Lion to run smooth, a true 4gb of ram is preferred, which may explain the sluggishness of your mac.
