High Memory Utilization in AWS EC2

I have used AWS EC2 t2.large server for my web application.

I have setup the custom metric for MemoryUtilization. After setup, When i viewed the MemoryUtilization Metric, it shows more than 85% almost all time.

Also, I have checked the CPU Utilization for the same instance, it is less than 10% in most of the time.

I am wondering how MemoryUtilization has gone such high? What might be the possible options to reduce them? Is it due to the virtualization system of AWS?

Your application has memory leaks or unnecessary memory usage. Try using any memory leak detection tools to fix the application. If you don't want to fix your application, try changing the instance type to any Memory Optimized instance type.
