NAME
passenger-memory-stats - reports a snapshot of the Apache and Phusion Passenger memory
statistcs
SYNOPSIS
passenger-memory-stats
DESCRIPTION
passenger-memory-stats allows you to easily analyze the real memory usage of Phusion Pas-
senger and Apache.
Process inspection tools such as ps and top are useful, but they rarely show the correct
memory usage. The real memory usage is usually lower than what ps and top report.
There are many technical reasons why this is so, but an explanation is beyond the scope of
this page. We refer the interested reader to operating systems literature about virtual
memory and copy-on-write.
When you run this tool the Private or private dirty RSS field shows the real memory usage
of processes.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
HTTPD The full filename to the Apache executable. By default, Passenger will attempt to
autodetect the Apache executable. If autodetection fails for whatever reason, then
Apache processes will not be shown in the memory statistics. In that case, you may
manually specify the location to the Apache executable using this environment vari-
able.
