Security console service nexserv.exe is utilizing more than 95% of memory of server

nexserv.exe is utilizing more than 95% of memory of server on which security console is installed. After analyzing scan logs no such reason found & found that nexserv is using only 65% memory.

So how can i find what could be the reason of hike in memory & its always between 90% to 95%.Why nexserv is consuming high memory.

Seeing the same issue. Console is running out of memory, this is using nearly all of it.

Nexpose application uses Java and postgres as the backend database. Memory is pre-assigned/pre-allocated, giving a set amount to java, a set amount to postgres and a set amount for the operating system. So even when the nexpose application is idle - you will see that memory utilization is high but it’s due to the pre-allocation. Another way to see this monitor the memory utilization on the console when it’s busy (running a console report or integrating data from a recent engine scan). The memory utilization will remain constant as both Java and Postgres are using their preallocated memory space.
