Situation Description

Monitors if the virtual memory availability is running low.

 

Possible Causes
  1. An application on this system is leaking memory.
  2. Too many applications are running on this system.
Suggested Actions

The system is running out of virtual memory. Consider moving some workload to other servers or look for the program that is causing a memory leak. To determine the amount of memory required for the workload, look at the process report. To determine whether any program is causing the memory leak, use short term history to see if any process memory requirement grows and does not shrink as time goes on. If your load average is less than 2 per processor, consider adding additional virtual memory.
