Hi, I used PMM 2 Appliance and /usr/sbin/prometheus use 28.5g of RAM for 9 host (9 pmm-clients mysql). Can you tell my where is the problem? is there any option with version 2 i missing?

Hi @mramirez , Here is a post about used RAM by Prometheus. [https://www.robustperception.io/why-does-prometheus-use-so-much-ram](https://www.robustperception.io/why-does-prometheus-use-so-much-ram) Could you provide a screenshot of amount of time series in your installation? It’s shown on the dashboard “Prometheus”, row “Time Series Information”. Amount of time series directly depends on used metrics resolution. It can be checked or changed on the tab “PMM Settings”. ![Screenshot_20201126_234130.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/percona1/original/1X/8c6e91b8f77d1e76a7d505acec3a4579fc5fa865.png) ---

Hi @adivinho thanks for you feedback. Here is my screenshot of Setting Metrics. ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/percona1/original/1X/a23fdf99a64462b25f67ad7e6843b7a6a358ed39.png) ---

Thank you for the additional information. Big amount of time series and active dashboard viewing could impact RAM usage. Prometheus will be replaced by VictoriaMetrics for metrics storing in the next pmm-server release. It will significantly reduce memory usage. pmm-server 2.12 is planed to be released on the next week. ---

How do you see what Prometheus takes so much memory ? Prometheus often reports very high VM usage, sometimes 10x or more compared to the actual memory it really uses due to its internal design ---

Hi Peter. Here is my PMM process Memory. I restarted server PMM last friday and Memory seems reasonable now, maybe memory leak bugs? ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/percona1/original/1X/45c5be429c392dfc0d81cb676c90ce5c6893b3be.png) ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/percona1/original/1X/1082c4ca64da1d62ffac46db379955d511d1a589.jpeg)
