[Jason Pickering <jason.p.pickering@xxxxxxxxx>]

I run the same type of setup on a number of production servers.
Nginx/Apache are definitely not the problem, as their memory consumption
compared to DHIS2 and the database, is negligible. I suspect it is a
configuration issue of your server.

On a related note Bob,  do you know how to get the "real IP" of the server
into the Tomcat logs? The header directive is necessary, but does not show
up in my Tomcat logs with the user's IP. I somehow think it is not possible
but maybe I am missing something.

Regards,
Jason
