Linux Commands to Monitor Memory Usage

Linux Commands to Monitor Memory Usage:

vmstat Monitor virtual memory
free Display amount of free and used memory in the system.
pmap Display/examine memory map and libraries (so). Usage: pmap pid
top Show top processes
sar -B Show statistics on page swapping.
time -v date Show system page size, page faults, etc of a process during execution. Note you must fully qualify the command as "/usr/bin/time" to avoid using the bash shell command "time".
cat /proc/sys/vm/freepages Display virtual memory "free pages".
One may increase/decrease this limit: echo 300 400 500 > /proc/sys/vm/freepages
cat /proc/meminfo Show memory size and usage.
