Memory Utilization


Hi,
I have sun Solaris server and would like to know current memory utilization (total memory of the server and current free memory). Also I would like to know historical memory consumption (about one week back what was memory utilzation). Could you please help me in this regard?

Thanks.

We dont have top installed. Also I know total Physical Memory can be obtained from prtstat.
So please let me know how to find current memory utilization and historical memory utilization. Thanks.

Better to install Mrtg or Cacti

#vmstat 1
This will update free memory information every second

"prstat -a" will show you the virtual and physical utilisation per user and "prstat -Z" per zone (Solaris 10 and newer).

and historical memory utilization. Thanks.
If you enable sar ("svcadm enable sar"), you'll have free virtual and memory logs up to one month with "sar -r".
