I am trying to make sense out of htop. I have a virtual PC with 6 GB RAM running ubuntu 15.10. I have installed a few applications on the server: Jenkins, Artifactory and some other tools. When I run htop I get this:
When I look at the VIRT and RES column the numbers far exceed the overview in the top showing that 1615/5967 MB is currently consumed.
How do I get a real view of how much RAM the the different applications on the server consumes?
By default Hide kernel threads are selected:
I have tried to enable Hide userland threads and the list now makes more sense:
Duplicates are still shown but at least only the "expected" memory consumption are shown for one instance of the applications. Not sure if its recommended to have this setting enabled though.
