Hi Experts,

I have enabled active defragmentation, and can see the defragmentation process is running, but still I can see warnings if run Memory doctor. Please see the below screen snip.

Can we ignore this warning ? Or is it something which we should take care ?

if active_defra_running > 0 means defrag is running.

You mean you've finished executing defrg and active_defra_running become 0?

Yes, active defrag has completed it's run and memory fragmentation ratio is 1.15 but memory doctor shows warning as attached in the screen snip.

When momory doctor enters this, it means (peak memory/current memory) > 1.5, which doesn't cause any problems.

Sorry, I missed one thing, this may cause the memory to be freed, but jemalloc is not returned to os, so you can use memory purge to return the memory to os.
