Memory consumed by others

Microsoft.SQLServer.ReportingServices.Windows.Monitor.Instance.MemoryUsageOnServer (UnitMonitor)

The monitor alerts if the memory consumed by processes other than SSRS does not allow SSRS to allocate the amount of memory prescribed by WorkingSetMinimum setting. The monitor uses the following formula to determine the state:
({WorkingSetMinimum} + {Memory Consumed By Others})*100/{Total Memory} < {Threshold (\%)}

Summary

The monitor alerts if the memory consumed by processes other than SSRS does not allow SSRS to allocate the amount of memory prescribed by WorkingSetMinimum setting. The monitor uses the following formula to determine the state:

({WorkingSetMinimum} + {Memory Consumed By Others})*100/{Total Memory} < {Threshold (%)}

Causes

Reporting services may require lots of memory for variety of reasons, some of them are as follows:

Memory pressure conditions may occur if there are other memory consuming applications running on the same server.

Resolutions

You may consider adding more memory to the server, or removing other applications from the server.

The following article provides information about memory configuration for the Reporting Services: -

Overridable Parameters

Name

Description

Default Value

Enabled

Enables or disables the workflow

Yes

Generates Alerts

Defines whether the workflow generates an Alert

Yes

Interval (seconds)

The recurring interval of time in seconds in which to run the workflow.

900

Number of samples

Health State changes if the number of threshold breaches is greater than or equal to the Minimum Number of Breaches.

4

Synchronization Time

The synchronization time specified by using a 24-hour format. May be omitted.

 

Threshold

The monitor alerts, if the sum of memory consumed by processes other than SSRS and value of WorkingSetMinimum expressed as a percentage of total server memory exceeds the threshold.

100

Timeout (seconds)

Specifies the time the workflow is allowed to run before being closed and marked as failed.
