I set dbcache=4000 in my bitcoin.conf file, but where can one confirm if this took affect or not in the gui? I'm on ubuntu 18.
How does one confirm if my dbcache setting has taken affect via the gui for bitcoin core 0.17?

When you run bitcoind you can see it popup on the loading screen. If it shows up here, it will be the same when you run the bitcoin-qt gui wallet too.
Have you tried simply checking memory usage during sync? – JBaczuk – 2018-10-19T15:21:45.417
you mean with the "free -h" command? – Patoshi パトシ – 2018-10-19T15:42:18.473
yes. dbcache sets how much ram is used during the validation process, if I'm not mistaken – JBaczuk – 2018-10-19T16:02:38.803
But where can I see it in the Bitcoin client where it shows that its really set? Using free -h doesn't really say fore sure its that application using it or not. – Patoshi パトシ – 2018-10-19T16:30:21.173
If it's in the conf file, instead of a command line flag, then I don't think there is a way to know which settings it's using other than verifying that your conf file is working by changing other settings and seeing if they take effect. – JBaczuk – 2018-10-19T17:29:57.653
