Measures reported by AsaMemoryTest
To evaluate the memory efficiency of an ASA device, you need to know how each memory pool configured for the device is consuming the available memory resources. The AsaMemoryTest provides this information. For every memory pool, this test reports the percentage of unused memory in the pool. By comparing the memory usage statistics reported by this test across all memory pools, you can quickly identify which pool is under-sized or is currently running out of memory.
The measures
made by this test are as
follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Total_Memory |
Indicates the total memory (in MB) available for this memory pool.
|
MB |
|
| Used_Memory |
Indicates the number of bytes from this pool that are currently used by applications on the managed device |
MB |
|
| Available_Memory |
Indicates the number of bytes from this pool that are currently available for use by applications |
MB |
|
| Available_Free_Memory |
Indicates the percentage of unused memory in this pool |
Percent/td>
| Ideally, this value should be high. A low value or a value that consistently decreases could be a cause for concern, as it could indicate the gradual erosion of memory resources from the pool. Under such circumstances, you may either want to resize the pool or investigate what is causing the memory drain and curb it.
