I have a very small application that worked fine on Ignition 7 but now that I am on 8.0.15 it seems to be pulling way to much from the PC. I noticed in the task manager Zulu Platform x64 is at 4945 MB. Any idea why this new ignition is taking up so much memory? I noticed this on another application too that was on 8.

How much memory did you allocate to Ignition in ignition.conf? What does the memory usage trend in the Status page of the gateway look like?

Thanks for the reply. It turns out that was the problem. I was allocating too much space. Fixed that and everything was good.
