Name "main thread" in the output of the "show memory processor allocating-process totals" command

oriques

Hey folks,

I need to check which process is consuming the most amount of memory on the router. I used the "show memory processor allocating-process totals" command. The output is attached.

The main-thread is consuming more than 13 MB of memory. But what does this "main-thread" mean? How can I define which process (or processes) is consuming this entire amount of memory?

Router Model: Cisco 2911
IOS: c2951-universalk9-mz.SPA.153-3.M5.bin

Thank you very much in advance,

Carlos.

Pretty complicated. I recommend getting help from the TAC, if possible...

Threads are instances generated by certain processes. A single process can generate several threads. Try rebooting the router.

Hi Carlos,

take a look at the following links for a better understand of your problem:

Memory Leaks Troubleshooting
Cisco CLI Analyser

Besides that ... if you have any older logs, then check if this problem is new or already exists.


Hope this helps

Many thanks, Marcelo! Your response was a great help!
