**Warning** In GNU C Library (`glibc`), each thread is given their memory pool that enhances the dynamic memory allocation behaviour. As a result, the Netprobe's virtual size is bigger (> 2GB) for system that uses disk plug-in with Linux 64-bit having glibc >= 2.10(RHEL 6). The significant Netprobe virtual memory increase can be controlled if you set the `MALLOC_AREA_MAX` in the environment variable. This limits the maximum number of memory pools used that leads to limiting the virtual memory size of the affected process. ``` export MALLOC_AREA_MAX=2 ``` ## Plug-in Configuration ``` gatewayLogsLocation: /bin/tt/gateway_logs exchangeLogsLocation: /bin/tt/exchange_logs gatewayLogFilePrefix: ttmd gatewayLogFileExtension: log exchangeLogFileExtension: TTlog exchangeLoginTypes exchangeLoginType searchText: FILLSERV/PROD description: Fill Server exchangeLoginType searchText: ORDERSERV/PROD description: Order Server exchangeLoginType searchText: MISCSERV/PROD description: Miscellaneous Server exchangeServices exchangeService searchText: FILL SERVER viewId: FILL description: Fill Server exchangeService searchText: GUARDSERVER viewed: GUARD description: Guard Server private debug: true ``` ### gatewayLogsLocation Location of the Gateway log files (usually named ttmd\*.log).

Mandatory: No Default: 4 ### multipleServers In the context of services running across multiple servers, setting this to true causes the plug-in to display all the IP addresses of each service. Status of the non-current servers will be shown as 'STANDBY' instead of 'UP', e.g.: ![trading-tech-multipleservers](https://docscdn.itrsgroup.com/geneos/images/netprobe/trading-images/image6_geneos_-_trading_technologies_plugin.png) Mandatory: No Default: false ### showExchanges Use this to limit the exchanges that will be shown in the exchange-services views.
