Hyperic Agent 5.8.4 - "Total Memory Used" Metrics

Hi at all,

can someone help me to understand Agent Metric "total memory used" fo ?

And the total memory that an agent can use ? In the documentation center i found 128mb it's true ?

Hello Alex,

It is the total memory being used by Hyperic, its wrapper and any activity (discovery, getting metrics etc) as seen by sigar.

You can use the following sigar command to see this value:

Bring up sigar:

cd <AGENT_DIR>\bundles\agent-x86-64-win-5.8.4\pdk\lib

..\..\jre\bin\java.exe -jar sigar-1.6.6.11.jar

Once in sigar run the command below and you'll see the memory used by the agent.

sigar> ps "State.Name.eq=java,Args.24.ct=hyperic"

128mb is the JVM memory setting for the agent.  The total memory used by the agent, its wrapper and discovery/monitoring processes will be higher.

Thanks,
