I notice our memory for a server that has very few domains on suddently spikes when nginx service is shutting down or reloading?
It causes some high memory usage into the 90% area and that is when load goes vvery high.
Shortly after it goes down and everything is back to normal.
I dont like these spikes so I thought giving it another 5GB from 10GB would help but still it does the same thing.
Should I change nginx processes from auto rather to something low like 4 or even 2? or is there another way to resolve this.
