Provisioning Server Memory Utilization

Summary

This monitor checks the PVS Server Memory Utilization. In case the Memory Utilization is too high, a PVS Server might become unresponsive.

Alert is triggered only when Memory Utilization value is above threshold for specified number of consecutive samples (NumberOfSamples parameter).

Configuration

The following configuration parameters are customizable:

• CriticalThreshold - Critical threshold value in percent. Default value is 97.

• IntervalSeconds - The recurring interval of time in seconds in which the monitor is started (the default value is set to 300 seconds).

• NumberOfSamples - Number of consecutive sample values considered before generating an alert. For example, set this parameter to 3 if alert should be generated only when Memory Utilization performance value is above threshold for 3 consecutive monitoring intervals.

• WarningThreshold - Warning threshold value in percent. Default value is 90.

Causes

Server’s memory may be highly utilized.

Resolutions

Check whether the memory utilization on the server is high for longer periods of time. To view the recent history for the memory utilization, use the following performance view:

Additional

To address a high memory utilization condition, an administrator may choose one or more of the following options:

• Close or stop one or more applications, services, processes.

• Add additional Physical Memory to the computer.

• Move applications to one or more additional servers.
