Ive got the original EISY. I just upgraded to latest OS 14 and IOX version 6.1.1.

I was checking out the new EISY-UI and went to about tab and saw my memory utilization is at 96%. How can I fix this? Do I need to delete something in EISY or add memory. If add memory, what kind of memory can I add to this EISY box and what are your recommendations?

Thanks!

Nothing to fix. Looks scary but isn't. Eisy runs FreeBSD on ZFS which uses most of the free RAM as an ARC disk cache. It can use up to half and often more memory to speed up file access, but it hands that memory back the instant any process actually needs it.

If you're comfortable in SSH...

top -b | head -15

In the header you'll see a Mem line and a separate ARC line. If most of the usage is on the ARC line and FREE is low but SWAP shows little or nothing used it's all good.

@TheA2Z do you have a lot of plugins loaded/running? I don't have much on my system and it's at 33%. You might want to open a support ticket just to be sure it's okay and nothing to worry about. Haven't seen others commenting on the memory being an issue yet. Always good to get it looked over just to be certain.

Sorry...just saw there was indeed another post about memory...

@Geddy I just have 3 plugins: Elk, Notification, and Yolink.

In looking at the other post that user also is showing 96% Memory so I think this goes back to what @Diesel posted above that FreeBSD pretty much grabs as much RAM as possible.

I'm not noticing and issues so I will go with that.

Thanks!
