Resolved How to troubleshoot memory usage (via health monitoring extension)

[mime-aware-snooper]

Hi,

I recently installed the Health monitor extension, everything seems to be working fine, except that we seem to have a memory leak every 2-3 hours :

do you know how I can find out what's happening ??

Thank you
Florian

Hello @floriancourgey ,
you should try to monitor your memory with another monitoring system than Plesk Health monitoring to make sure there is really an issue with your memory usage.
Via ssh you can use htop , or install a real-time dashboard like netdata : .

Thanks, htop helps a lot !

it looks like we have a lot of mysql daemon and apache started. Do you know if plesk (or any other softwares) starts those services on a regular basis ?

Yes, there is nothing unusual on your screenshots. But check the memory and the swap available on the server more than each service memory usage.

I don't know about swaps but here's the overview of the Disk usage section :

What is /snap/ ? EDIT : /snap is used by ubuntu snap (like a replacement of apt)

Do you know how to clean things up ? EDIT apt remove snap

PS : I'm more a developer than a sysadmin, sorry if my questions seem easy !
