Linux：在Linux中查看进程占用内存大小的方法

     在开发和运维过程中，经常会遇到的问题是一个进程到底占用了多大的内存。以下通过常用的2个命令来说明如何获取进程占用的内存

比如有一个java进程，它的pid=7020

$ps -ef | grep LogAgent | grep ^grep

usrapp 7020 1 0 15:23 ? 00:00:02 java -jar LogAgent.jar

1、使用ps

$ps -o vsz,rss,sz,size,pid -q7020

VSZ        RSS    SZ         SIZE        PID

4444604 39160 1111151 4268292 7020

以上显示的数字的单位是KB ，其中vsz,rss,sz,size的含义如下：

name	description
vsz	virtual memory size of the process in KiB (1024-byte units).  Device mappings are currently excluded; this is subject to change.  (alias vsize).
rss	resident set size, the non-swapped physical memory that a task has used (in kiloBytes). (alias rssize, rsz).
sz	size in physical pages of the core image of the process.  This includes text, data, and stack space.  Device mappings are currently excluded; this is subject to change.  See vsz and rss.
size	approximate amount of swap space that would be required if the process were to dirty all writable pages and then be swapped out. This number is very rough!

 

其中最关注的是RSS，它是实际占用的物理内存的大小。

2、使用top

$top -n 1 -p 7020

top - 16:29:32 up 166 days, 5:59, 3 users, load average: 0.25, 0.31, 0.48

Tasks: 1 total, 0 running, 1 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie

%Cpu(s): 0.0 us, 3.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 96.6 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st

KiB Mem : 7388532 total, 158576 free, 5822636 used, 1407320 buff/cache

KiB Swap: 16777212 total, 12173780 free, 4603432 used. 1012880 avail Mem

PID  USER  PR NI VIRT      RES    SHR   S %CPU %MEM TIME+  COMMAND

7020 usrapp 20 0  4444604 39160 12444 S 0.0       0.5       0:02.15 java

从执行结果可以看到：

ps. VSZ=top.VIRT

ps. RSS=top.RES
