Which Process is taking all the memory?

Hello, @garywilliams

You can ssh to your droplet and use either top or htop to see which processes is consuming most of the droplet’s memory. In order to see the memory usage in htop, once you’ve executed the htop command use Shift + M or just click the MEM% sign with the mouse (htop can be navigated using the mouse button).

You can also use a command like this one to show the processes memory in megabytes and the process path, but generally htop and top are my favorites.

ps aux  | awk '{print $6/1024 " MB\t\t" $11}'  | sort -n

Let me know how it goes.
