The task manager in the vm we use to run ignition has a really large java.exe file. Is something wrong/ is this something I should be concerned about? It starts this right after startup at about 5,000,000k and tops out at about 13,000,000 and stays there even if no one is running anything.
It isn't the size of the executable file, but the total RAM used. I would guess your Heap RAM limit in ignition.conf is 12GB.
That it starts at 5G then ramps up is a common mistake: in a production system, you should set the minimum equal to the maximum so that java claims it all at once in startup.
(Java never returns RAM to the OS. It recycles heap RAM internally.)
