Lets check to see if the usage is just disk buffers:

Code: Select all

free -m

What is the hardware like on your Nagios XI server (HDD, CPU, RAM)?

Have you checked which processes utilize the most memory?

Go to:

Code: Select all

Admin->System Status
and

Code: Select all

Admin->Monitoring Engine Status
and post screenshots of these two pages.

Do you have anything else running on this system beside Nagios XI? Any virus scanners, mail servers, possibly a DNS server?

Also can you please reply to abrist's question from a few posts back?

we are only running xi ,

Code: Select all

# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         15951      11383       4568          0        174       9562
-/+ buffers/cache:       1645      14306
Swap:        16383          0      16383
Mod Note: Please wrap this sort of thing in code tags so as to preserve the spacing, as I have done in this post

Your server is only actually using 1.6gb. The other usage is for disk cache/buffers and should not effect performance at all as the kernel will de-allocate disk buffer memory as needed.
