>I note that you've moved quite a few OS iterations from CentOS 5 to RHEL 7. The kernel memory management is likely to be a bit different. You might find that the extra RAM usage is simply taken up by kernel buffers and cache, so isn't really "in use" in the traditional sense.
 Is there any way to verify that this is indeed the case?

If you're concerned about Xymon using too much RAM, to the point where it could affect your server's performance or stability, then I'd recommend opening a >new thread to discuss it.

It is indeed indicated in ”real” memory. I already did open a new (older) thread, which didn’t get much attention, maybe 2 replies. The mailinglist is almost dead, so I know it’s a longshot to get help.
