To view the discussion, visit: http://community.zenoss.org/message/66324#66324 -------------------------------------------------------------- That behavior is normal. When your memory is showing almost all used, see what the cached value on the swap line is reading. My server has 24GB of memory. When I start zenoss/mysql up it hops right to 10-11GB used. Over a week or so it will climb to about 22GB but 10GB is cached in the column. This is a good thing, the more you have crammed into cache the better. That being said, 4GB is generally considered the bare minimum for running the zenoss stack. With only 50 devices and 400 datapoints I think you'll be ok with it though. Remember your OS takes several hundred up to a Gig. MySQL will bit a chunk out of it as well. Add Zenoss and normal Linux caching and you will be to 4GB in no time.

Occasionally all monitored processes for a server begin alerting and then clearing after a minute.  Forcing a remodel clears this up. Multiple times daily, many servers will begin alerting for all monitored processes being down, which servers alert not being consistent.  This is resolved by restarting zenprocess but often starts again within an hour or less.  I've turned on debug logging for zenprocess but it throws no actual errors.  It does appear to be alerting for process guid's (they look like guid's) as I get emails like: Unable to read processe</pre> texjata 2012-05-11T14:33:27 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.zenoss.user/47034 <pre>me2 [http://community.zenoss.org/people/me2] created the discussion "how to size core v3.2.1 on centos etc- specifically amount of memory needed?"
