Determine the amount of memory actually used

  • Hi all,

    I just have a quick question, I've been looking at my server memory, and using perf mon I can see that the total server mememory is set to 27gb (as I set it) and that the target server memory is at the same value, so this is good, SQL is addressing all the memory I want it to.

    However I was wondering if anyone knows an effective means of seeing how much memory SQL is actually using at a given point, i.e is it using 20GB of the 27GB it has at this point in time? I've had a look at the dmv for memory clerks but that seems to think I'm only using about 5gb, which sounds low.

    Any helo would be great thanks.

  • I think I've answered my own question, from all the reading I'm doing, the dmv sys.dm_os_memory_clerks does provide me with the amount of memory currently being used by the instance.
