Shared memory and Cached memory full checkpoint firewall

[ddesai]

Hi Everyone,

I'm using a network monitoring tool and have integrated a checkpoint firewall to it. I'm seeing that the cashed and shared memory is 100%. I was wondering what this means from a checkpoint firewall perspective and its impact. Is there any way to free up the memory? I'd really appreciate your help with this as soon as possible. I am using R81.20 firmware on 5900 and 7000 series firewall.

My monitoring up is showing 100% utilization for my cached and shared memory but when i verify with free -m command.

free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available.
Mem: 31848 9389 11583 17 10875 21352
Swap: 20512 0 20512

Is there any action require or no ?

Thanks
