Report Problems of Memory Utilization via EEM
This video by Ivan from Cisco provides tips for diagnosing memory leaks in routers, emphasizing the importance of log messages, system reports, and understanding DRAM usage to efficiently troubleshoot high memory utilization issues.
MAIN POINTS FROM TRANSCRIPT
- High memory usage often triggers log messages indicating a warning limit has been reached.
- Collecting core files, system reports, and memory utilization graphs is crucial for troubleshooting.
- High memory utilization can result from legitimate demands or issues like inefficient memory management.
- Monitoring memory usage across different processes helps identify potential problems early.
TAKEAWAYS
- Ensure you are running a supported software version to avoid limitations in troubleshooting options.
- DRAM is vital for core functionality, supporting both control and data plane operations.
- Use the EM feature to automate monitoring and information collection for easier troubleshooting.
- Writing an EM script involves setting triggers and specifying commands to collect necessary data.
