Determining what consumes memory on Win2K3 server....

[Guest Noctaire]

I have a box that is consuming roughly 50G of memory. It has 64G

physical, 32G virtual. I want to determine what is using the memory.

Just looking at the "Mem Usage" column in task manager doesn't add up.

Where else can I look to get a better break down of memory consumption?

- You can run take a System Monitor log with objects - Memory, System,

process, processor, paging file with all counters enabled for a few hours

under normal workload of the server.

 

- You can then look into the Working set of individual processes and find

out which process is consuming how much physical memory.

 

- Also, there might be memory which will not be accounted against individual

processes. Check the counters under the System, committed bytes, cache bytes.
