Identify Memory Usage Problems

Use these guidelines to identify memory usage problems:

  • The Controller resolution for object instances is one minute, but the .NET Agent only sends data every ten minutes, so .NET memory appears as a series of peaks over time.
  • It is normal for the Controller to display 0 for the Current Instance Count and Shallow Size in between instance count collection times.
  • Hover over a peak to display information about the instance count.
  • Look for trends where the peaks increase in size from left to right which may indicate a memory leak.
