How can I see which of the services is eating my memory ?
Memory used by services is continuously increasing
htop is probably a good place to start. Or top -o RES. Latter is more cross-platform and the -o RES sorts by resident memory for the process (in KiB). You can press the q button to exit when done looking. It’s easiest to inspect this via SSH (not webshell). Do note that in some older releases memory being used by ZFS was reported as “services” and so the UI stuff was misleading.
“Services” includes whatever Apps you have installed, and you can see what memory they’re using in the Apps section of the web UI:
Sorry, not relevant. OP didn’t initially specify CORE
I’m on core so it is top -o res
But ok if this is all …

Without further context on what you’re seeing, it looks like the bhyve VMs are the pigs.
Yes they are… one is linux on is windows and a memory eating task on linux let both explode.
It was funny to see that both vm res mem starts to increase at the time where the linux vm task was started.

I have one of my mirror busy average 50%, will anyone know why I have find process running in background?
I manage to find the issue, it was Plex jail searching/scanning move folder
