I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my Debian server - I am getting warnings of having not enough free memory - top (as you can see below) is saying that 1.8G is consumed, but I am unable to find which application is responsible for it. There is only Tomcat running, which consumes, according to top, ~25 % and so 530m. But There is more than 1 GB left, which I am unable to find!

Linux systems always try to use as much ram as available for various functions like caching of executables our even just page reads from disk. That's what you bought your fast RAM for after all.
You can find out more about your system by doing a
cat /proc/meminfo
More info in this helpful blog post
If you find out a lot is used in cache then you don't have to worry about the system.if individual processes warn you about memory issues then you'll have to check their settings for any memory limiting settings. Many server processes have those, like php or java based processes.
Questions of this nature are also probably more at home at https://serverfault.com/
As i see, your 'Free' command returned NO swap space
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 0k cached
either there is no swap partition available
this swap space is not mounted
one can manual make a swapfile
and mount this file as becoming the active swap
howto make swap
To test your real usage
reboot the machine and
test the used amount
retest after 1 hour
some processes are memory hoggs
like apache or ntop

docker stats shows that the cpu usage to be very high. But top command out shows that 88.3% cpu is not being used. Inside the container is a java service httpthrift service.

How to reduce the cpu usage and bring it under 100%?
According to the top man page:
When operating in Solaris mode (`I' toggled Off), a task's cpu usage will be divided by the total number of CPUs. After issuing this command, you'll be told the new state of this toggle.
So by pressing the key I when using top in interactive mode, you will switch to the Solaris mode and the CPU usage will be divided by the total number of CPUs (or cores).
P.S.: This option is not available on all versions of top.
I have CentOS 6.8, Cassandra 3.9, 32 GB RAM. When I start Cassandra and once it is started, it starts consuming the memory and start adding up 'Cached' memory value when I start querying from CQLSH or Apache Spark and in this process, very less memory remain for other processing like cron execution.
Here are some details from my system

You can see only 220 MB is left and 23.46 is cached.
My question is how to configure Cassandra so that it can use 'cached' memory to certain value and leave more RAM available for other processes.
Thanks in advance.
In linux in general cached memory as your 23g is just really fine. This memory is used as filesystem cache and so on - not by cassandra itself. Linux systems tend to use all available memory.
This helps to speed up your system in many ways to prevent disk reads.
You can still use the cached memory - just start processes and use your ram, the kernel will free it immediatly.
You can set the sizes in cassandra-env.sh under conf folder. This article should help. http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/operations/opsTuneJVM.html
I have a 30 node cluster, each node has 32 core, 240 G memory (AWS cr1.8xlarge instance). I have the following configurations:
--driver-memory 200g --driver-cores 30 --executor-memory 70g --executor-cores 8 --num-executors 90
I can see from the job tracker that I still have a lot of total storage memory left, but in one of the containers, I got the following message saying Storage limit = 28.3 GB. I am wondering where does this 28.3 GB came from? My memoryFraction for storage is 0.45
And how do I solve this Not enough space to cache rdd issue? Should I do more partition or change default parallelism ... since I still have a lot of total storage memory unused. Thanks!

I currently have a rails app set up on a Digital Ocean VPS (1GB RAM) trough Cloud 66. The problem being that the VPS' memory runs full with Passenger processes.

.. 2 Passenger RackApp processes, OK.
But when I use the htop command, the output is as follows:
There seem to be a lot of Passenger Rackup processes. We're also running Sidekiq with the default configuration.
New Relic Server reports the following memory usage:
I tried tuning Passenger settings, adding a load balancer and another server but honestly don't know what to do from here. How can I find out what's causing so much memory usage?
Update: I had to restart ngnix because of some changes and it seemed to free quite a lot of memory.
Press Shift-H to hide threads in htop. Those aren't processes but threads within a process. The key column is RSS: you have two passenger processes at 209MB and 215MB and one Sidekiq process at 154MB.
Short answer: this is completely normal memory usage for a Rails app. 1GB is simply a little small if you want multiple processes for each. I'd cut down passenger to one process.
Does your application create child processes? If so, then it's likely that those extra "Passenger RackApp" processes are not actually processes created by Phusion Passenger, but are in fact processes created by your own app. You should double check whether your app spawns child processes and whether you clean up those child processes correctly. Also double check whether any libraries you use, also properly clean up their child processes.
I see that you're using Sidekiq and you've configured 25 Sidekiq processes. Those are also eating a lot of memory. A Sidekiq process eats just as much memory as a Passenger RackApp process, because both of them load your entire application (including Rails) in memory. Try reducing the number of Sidekiq processes.
