Hello

I’m running out of memory on my server, how do I decrease memory and CPU usage?

I use a lot of target

I don’t use transcoder.

Have you already searched java dump here in the forums search bar? Several discussions that may be of help to you.

Here is also an article for you that I got from searching our docs:

You can also adjust your JAVA heap settings to allow for programs that have higher memory consumption.
