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.
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.
