Memory usage on BC installation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

Hi,

First of all, I don't know if this is the right forum?

We have a fairly large installation, with 16 service tiers spread out on 3 servers, and a complete test/development copy.

I have three questions.

Is there any way to know what causes high memory usage? It seems that in time the service tiers consume almost all available memory (like SQL server does). 
Is it because it does not release the memory again? Or does is it just the way it is?

We are using the webklient, is there a way to calculate the amount of needed memory?

In our test environment, we does not need the performance. Is there a way to limit the memory usage? Our test server does not have as much memory, and it crashes sometimes because it runs out of memory..

    Hello,

    I would start with the following:

    learn.microsoft.com/.../performance-counters

    And this one:

    learn.microsoft.com/.../performance-profiler-overview

    You can also enable application insights:

    learn.microsoft.com/.../telemetry-enable-application-insights

    Hope this gives you a start. If you are the end customer, then best is to raise a ticket with your partner who will be your first contact.
