Memory Usage

The Memory Usage section contains the following reports:

Memory Usage Summary

The Memory Usage Summary report displays a graph that shows the estimated memory consumption by persistent scopes on the server, including the server scope, the application scopes, and the session scopes. If your server is consuming too much memory, the graph provides information about which scope is using too much memory, and when the increased memory consumption began. Detailed reports let you examine estimated memory consumption for the server scope and all active application and session scopes. For more information, see Variable memory usage.

Note: Memory usage information displayed in the Server Monitor is estimated and might vary from the actual memory usage. The information in the memory usage report is based on empirical estimates of how different Java types, and their corresponding ColdFusion types, consume memory. Use the information provided in the memory usage report as an indicator rather than an absolute measure. Also, the Server Monitor does not track COM objects for memory usage information.

Requests by Memory Usage

The Requests by Memory Usage report lists the requests that use the most memory. You can view a list or a detailed view. The detailed view lists the variables that use the most memory during the execution of the request.

CF Threads by Memory Usage

The CF Threads by Memory Usage report lists the ColdFusion threads that use the most memory.

Queries by Memory Usage

The Queries by Memory Usage report lists the queries that use the most memory. When a query appears in this report, you might want to tune the query to reduce the size of the result set, or cache the query to reduce memory consumption and network traffic. This report does not include information about cached queries.

Sessions by Memory Usage

The Sessions by Memory Usage report lists the sessions that use the most memory.

Application Scope Memory Usage

The Application Scope Memory Usage report lists the application scopes that use the most memory. The detail lists the application scope variables that use the most memory.

Server Scope Memory Usage

The Server Scope Memory Usage page lists the server scope variables that use the most memory.
