I have a Linux VM that has 8 GB RAM. This is a screenshot of htop which includes all system information (tasks,services). There's no application using too much RAM when looking at the PIDs, but the total RAM usage is 6.26 GB. Why is the virtualized part of these tasks too high? e.g: mssql-server (5711 M VIRT , 511M RES) I already have configured mssql server while setting max.memorylimitmb to 3072 MB, but still my server is using too much RAM.
I have added screenshot when typed top o %MEM -n1
Normal values after reboot , When I restarted server , everything is fine total ram consuming 1.34 GB , but after 10-15 hours automatically ram using increases to 6 GB as you can see pictures I shared before..
