Measures reported by JexMemoryTest

This test reports the total memory allocated to each hardware component of the target Juniper EX Switch. Using this test, you can monitor the buffer memory utilization and heap memory utilization of each hardware component. This way, you can identify the hardware component that is running short of memory.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
MemorySize Indicates the total memory allocated to this hardware component. MB  
BufferUtilization Indicates the percentage of buffer memory utilized by this hardware component. Percent A low value is desired for this measure. A gradual/sudden increase in the value of this measure is a cause of concern which indicates that the buffer memory is running short of resources. You can either increase the size of the buffer memory or free up the space that is already utilized to contain the value of this measure within possible limits.

Comparing the value of this measure across the hardware components will help you in identifying the hardware component that is utilizing the memory resources extensively.

HeapUtilization Indicates the percentage of heap memory utilized by this hardware component. Percent
