Clear Memory without rebooting in Sophos XG

Hi Community,

Is there a way to clear memory (RAM) without rebooting in Sophos XG firewall? its firmware is SFOS 18.0.5 MR-5-Build586.

Memory went up to 90% last week. We rebooted the Sophos XG firewall. Then, Memory came back to around 30%. Now it has been running since 5 days. Now Memory has gone up to 75%.

Is there a way to clear memory (RAM) without rebooting in CLI mode? otherwise we will have to reboot again.

Thanks

  • Why do you want to "clear RAM"? Is it affecting the performance of your appliance? Just because memory is "used" in a UNIX system does not mean that it's currently being used by a process, and that process will have to allocate more if it needs more. There's a difference between what UNIX has allocated to a process and how much of that RAM a process has actually used.

    Out XGS 87 routinely runs at 75% RAM utilized with no problems.
