How to check how much memory a solaris process consumes? I'd like both total address space allocated and the amount that is resident in RAM.
I tried summing pmap output with some awk script, but it was an ugly hack. Is there a better way to script it?
prstat -s rss
'-s' sorts prstat output by rss column (see man page for other columns). Also try '-a' option for a per user accumulation.
ps -eo pid,pmem,vsz,rss,comm | sort
-rnk2 | head
Top 10 RAM consumers. '-o pmem' displays percentage of resident memory i.e. RAM used by process.
ls -lh /proc/{pid}/as
Easy way to show total address space (vsz) of a process. Useful in combination with pgrep to accumulate by user, pattern, ... e.g.:
for pid in `pgrep -U webserver`; do ls -lh /proc/$pid/as; done
Well, after I've read through some man pages I got the following
ps -o vsz -p $PID | tail -1
It is quite straightforward. The format for resident size is rss.
I use variation of this output in scripts:
# prstat -Z 1 1 | tail -3
ZONEID NPROC SWAP RSS MEMORY TIME CPU ZONE
220 56 1057M 413M 0.3% 1:26:49 0.1% 820f6ce5-7e37-4455-80ab-b28c5de19b43
Total: 56 processes, 169 lwps, load averages: 0.07, 0.06, 0.06
prstat
Or maybe a dtrace-script?
