Summary:
Check all nodes of the cluster to get current memory usage
# for node in $(asinfo -v "services" | tr -d "values is rqtdc\n" | \
tr ';' '\n' | cut -d: -f1 | sort); do echo $node; \
ssh root@$node "free -m"; ps -e -orss=,size=,args= | sort -b -n | \
tail -n 5; echo;echo; done
Sample Output:

Summary:
If memory is running low, free up some memory from cache
# for node in $(asinfo -v "services" | tr -d "values is rqtdc\n" | \

ssh root@$node "free -m ; sync ; echo 3 | tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \
