Memory Usage: what do you think?

noviceiii

Dear all

A warning message regarding memory usage draw my attention, found in Up2Date -> Overview. Sophos UTM 9.506-2.

Not finding anything particular I rebooted UTM which freed up memory significant. From 75% to around 10%.
See below graphic from the (RAM) memory usage report.

It didn't bother me much as SWAP isn't used at all. Further, it obviously stops consumption on 75%.
However the system throws a warning... and well, I just like warning-free systems ;-) 

What do you think? Is there a way to have it freeing up memory on its own? What are the factors?

Kind regards

    Hi noviceiii,

    how much RAM do you have in the UTM?

    Hi Jason

    Thanks for asking.
    There is currently 16 GB assigned (it is running on an ESXi).
    This is plenty, isn't it (for home use)?

    ... maybe I'll assign 32 GB since there ist plenty in the ESXi too..

    Greetings

    I have 8Gb on My unit at home, but this is not on a hyper-visor.

    it also depends on the following;

    1. How many rules.

    2. Country blocking enabled.

    3. web-filter policies.

    4. IPS configuration (having all of them enabled can consume a lot of memory).

    maybe reduce the attack patterns down to what you actually have.

    5. How many modules you have running (and are using).
