Hello Gonzalo,

thanks for your reply...

Its sounds to fit perfectly for my problem but unfortunatly, the properties section is already there with the given entries... Any other ideas? 

then it could be normal. java is a heavy beast. What do you get with this command:

ps -eo pmem, pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -15

Sure, there you go...

looks normal

java being a heavy beast is an understatement.

thank you for this command,  very useful once we get the extra space out of it after the first comma that sneaked in there.

ps -eo pmem,pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -15

So i'll add couple more gigs of ram and watch it?

thanks for caching the typo. Htop is also a nice neat utility.

i do not see any problem with your server. Not sure why you want to add more memory. 

Why are you doing that?  To what end?  Is there a problem you haven't told us about?

It isn't like your swap is getting consumed much at all, and that is what I usually use as my driver for if more RAM is needed.  A common part of my health check is the 'free -m' command, and as long as swap stays well under half used, I don't worry about memory usage unless something else strongly points to it.  Using lots of a plentiful resource is not a reason to just add more.
