High memory gateways

[lluner]

I have a 6200 firewall cluster and I'm noticing that the firewall memory is having a high consumption and not low even with low processing

Swap is low so that is good. If there are performance issues swap would increase.

Linux takes as much memory as it wants unlike Windows. 

Run some basic health checks like HCP to see if there are indeed any issues.

Check monitoring if there is a memory leak (slow increase every day of memory use)

Only if there is a memory leak action is needed because this will crash the gateway at one point.

I am more worried about the CPU load, You have a load of 5 and only 4 CPU's

It's quite normal for the gateway to use a large percentage of memory.
What does free -m say?
The key number there is "available" (not "free" memory).

What does free -m say?

I want to understand if this is normal, over time the use of memory increases. When it arrives at the swap, I believe there is a problem?

I talked about the issue of memory increase because it started to affect the TE blade

Looks like small memory leak, share cpinfo -y all output from relevant gw

High usage is normal.
Increasing over time without a commensurate increase in traffic volume? Not so much.
In any case, you might have some sort of memory leak and suggest using the following procedure to isolate it:

Then, of course, involve TAC.
