Hello Oleksandr

Is this considered as a best practice?

Is it applicable for latest Linux versions?

    Hi, MikeGre​ 

    Dropping cache is not a best practice but a very edge case.  The memory marked as cached still available for applications. You should have a particular reason to drop a cache manually. 

    However, AFAIK this command still works on latest Linux distros and is not related to the Sisense itself.
