## Memory utilization graph is dropping after every 1hr for 5-10min.

Is it normal?  
but this is happening since last few days before that is was straight line graph.

```auto
NOTE: Blue colour graph which is dropping is for memory utilization.

```

What is that graph showing?

Is that from a chart on your dashboard? or from a memory-profiler in your browser?

Without any additional information it's hard to tell. fwiw, memory-drops like that aren't necessarily unusual, it's generally a consequence of the browser's garbage collection.
