Data Management Gateway RAM usage

Hi All, 

 

I have a question about the data management gateway if anyone could offer any thoughts?

 

The data management gateway on our MI server is currently using nearly 11GB of RAM, which feels higher than it should be.

 

What are the first steps to diagnosing why it's using so much ram and ideally how can I cap this? Ideally I'd rather manage RAM usage (even to say 8GB) than just add more RAM to the server. 

 

Thanks!

@Anonymous As a first step, I'd check out the "Performance" section of the Troubleshooting documentation here.

Waaaay at the bottom, it starts with an Adam Saxton video
