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 20.0. 0

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 85%.

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

Thanks

Hi,

which model XG are you using? 90% ram is not an issue unless you are seeing performance hits.

You could try stopping and restarting some of the services to see which has the biggest affect on ram usage.

XG115W - v20.0.2 MR-2 - Home

XG on VM 8 - v21 EAP
