I am running FMS 14.0.4. I have 16 gb installed ram on a dedicated mac server running 10.9.5 - I'm having 2 problems 1) fmserverd is not responding in activity monitor 2) I have noticed my server using most all of the 16gb of ram even sitting idle - Please help

Are the users complaining of slow performance?  How many concurrent users do you have?

How much cache have you set up in the FMS admin console?

yes users are complaining of slow performance - I have 25 users during the day - a couple at night - I have a two machine deployment with the Worker machine doing CWP - ram reserved for cache on server 14,000 - thanks Wim

The 14GB of FMS cache is why the memory looks "full'.  You don't need that much cache. Scale it back to 1 or 2GB.

What are the specs on that Mac?

Also: if you have not turned it on yet, enable the FMS statistics logging.  That will tell you where the performance bottleneck is across the 4 traditional ones: processing power, memo, disk i/o or network i/o

I have statistics logging turned on - scaled back cache ram - mac is a Mac Tower - 2.8 ghz quad-core intel xeon - 16 gig ram running 10.9.5 - 1T HD half full - what statistics should I be interested in checking? thx

All of them really because at this point we don't know what the bottleneck is, and the stats all together will paint a complete picture.

But for now look closely at the "elapsed time per call" and "wait time per call".  Assuming that your stats interval is still the default 30 seconds: note how many times and for  how long the numbers for either of those go up to 30,000,000.
