looking at the memory usage on my solarwinds server.
all this server does is solarwinds applications, and the memory is running at 2.73 gig (in use) and 1.7 gig of that is SQLSEVR.exe
is this normal???
SQL Server never met a GB of RAM it didn't like. SQL will use what's available, and the Orion server can use a lot of SQL's capacity, especially if you're running modules like NTA or APM as well as NPM.
Normal on my end. Just depends on how much you are monitoring. If you are using netflow then that will put the pounding on SQL also.
This is pretty typical for SQL. My instance is chewing about 7GB RAM. You can limit it in SQL memory properties if you need to, BUT that may cause poor performance. be careful.
