Hello checkpoint community, today we are experiencing high memory consumption on our SMS R81.20 HF take 24.
The CPU was at 3% but the memory was at 91% alerted.
I checked the Swap memory and observed that 3GB was being used, and this increased as time went by, also the free memory was at 0, which I consider an expected behavior of the Swap memory as it does not have free memory.

What I couldn't determine was what was consuming most of my memory? With the top command it only showed that Java was consuming 22% of memory at certain times, but nothing abnormal.
Because the Swap memory increased over time, I decided to restart the processes (cpstop; cpstart). After that I noticed that the Swap memory used was at 0, the free memory increased to 2 and the available memory to 9. With the restart of processes the problem that I presented was solved, at a graphic level I also observed that my SMS is no longer alerted .

What could be the trigger for my free memory to have fallen to 0 and consequently my used Swap memory continually increased?
