Hi forum,

We increased Memory on multiple VM Instances running splunk from 64GB to 128GB. On some instances change is reflected in splunk on some doesn't. Splunk was restarted after memory was increased.

I'm using

index=_introspection host=myinstances* hostwide | stats latest(data.mem) by host

and

| rest splunk_server_group=dmc_group_* /services/server/status/resource-usage/hostwide | search splunk_server=myinstance*

output on one of the instances which are displayed with 64GB RAM:

cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:       130023424 kB
MemFree:         4469608 kB
Buffers:         1801916 kB
Cached:         115051716 kB
SwapCached:        21600 kB

Inactive(anon):   307072 kB
Active(file):   57083536 kB
Inactive(file): 59768260 kB

any hints? Version is 7.1.3.1 running Linux.

Regards,

Andreas
