We have a process which is using a lot of memory, and memory usage is increasing as it runs. To do some profiling I wrote a perl script which cats /proc/<pid>/status every 100 seconds. I am now interested in the memory related fields. I understood some fields, but some I did not. Can anybody help me which field(s) is the most relevant for me, Here is sample output VmPeak: 8755844 kB VmSize: 7121544 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmHWM: 8271248 kB VmRSS: 6643780 kB VmData: 7107696 kB VmStk: 88 kB VmExe: 2568 kB VmLib: 2916 kB VmPTE: 13716 kB
