Redis taking up all server memory. What to do?

view full story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have a Redis server running version 2.4.5 and with a dump.rdb of 11GB loaded into memory. It is running on EC2 on a high memory 4x extra large instance (70GB total memory). However, turns out Redis is already taking up 50GB of memory and is just growing more and more. My dataset is still gonna grow larger, probably to around 20GB, so clearly 70GB memory wont be enough. Do you guys have any ideas on how to overcome this limitation or how to make Redis eat less memory? I've tried redis 32bit but it dies trying to load the data set into memory at startup. Have also tried max-memory in the pa (HowTos)

Stories similar to Redis taking up all server memory. What to do?

I want to compare the memory and cpu usage of the the redis-server and the mysql-server. I have used a profiler to get the client data but I would also like to know what is going on on the servers when I execute queries.

Do you know a tool that I could use.

I am running them locally on mac os x10.6.8

In redis 2.4 the vm-enabled no is the default, so I am using redis as database (not cache), and maybe occasionally the db size is larger than the memory, should I enable it?

Or should I enfore maxmemory to prevent data loss?

I am trying to get Redis to start every time my system reboots to make sure that the cache are availables to my webserver.

Hi all

Slighly confused by the internal memory on the S2.

I thought it had around 16GB of internal memory but when I checked...setting/storage/ it shows internal memory as Total Space =1.97Gb Apps 238MB Available as 1.70GB

So this adds up to only around 3.9GB ????

Any ideas where the rest is.....

Many thanks for your time

I have fairly light-weight Sinatra application that uses Redis as its database. The app was set up this way because the app only needs to keep track of real-time information.

There are quite number of software running on my server: httpd, varnish, mysql, memcache, java..

Each of them is using a part of the virtual memory and varnish was configured to be allocated 3GB of memory to run.

Due to high traffic load which is 100K, our server ran out of memory and oom-killer is invoked.

dear all,

kindly i want to check my server memory utilization i used alot of commands but i want to make sure that it is acurate let me explain

i have a server which has 32GB RAM

Total Memory = 33423360 kb Free Memory = 4172568 kb Utilized Memory = 29250792 kb Memory Utilization Percentage = 87.5 %

if Utilized Memory = 29250792 kb how can i make sure which processes eat this amount of memo

Setting Up Redis-py in ubuntu 49 weeks 3 hours ago

I am trying to install redis-py or redis-rb (preferably redis-py) but none of the sites I visit and the blogs I have read have provided a solution that has been satisfactory. Can anyone please tell me how I can set it up. It is quite urgent. I am currently running on python 2.7.2+ on ubuntu 11.10 Thanks.
