Check Memory usage of Linux Process

We like to run analysis and see the memory consumption of the BigFix client on some of our Linux devices.
(We have report of few clients taking up > 50% memory - already opened case with HCL Support on this)

I know following relevance will work

(exists process whose (name of it is “BESClient”)

For windows we can do something like this to see memory utilization

(page file usage of process “besclient.exe” / 1048576) as string & " MB"

do we have something similar that I can use for Linux.

i’ve checked developer.bigfix.com for processes but have not come accros anything for Linux it’s mainly windows based.

Alternative way would be to run local command that writes output to textfile and read that file and get the info that way but looks a bit overkill so looking for some advice on this.

Thank you.

@dgendera I did some searching around on both process and service objects. Windows has plenty or properties around memory usage, but I did not find anything for Linux. Your action > File > Property will work, but the results will only be as good as the frequency of the action running.
