Hi all, I have been asking this in October 2008, while using 2.0.4
FR is eating Memory and I do not know how to troubleshoot this. It takes about 1 MB/ Minute which was about 3.5 GB over some Days, before we rcognized this.
Alan: There were issues with older versions of the server, but 2.1.0 should be fine.
I configured the option to die a server after 500 packets, but this does not help for me.
Alan: Because it stops the *thread*, not the *server*. And all threads use the same shared memory file.
I have not been able to change the version, as it was productive and you guys are doing such a great job, that this has been my only real problem with FR (even if it might not be FR problem, than a problem of some used libraries). Thank you all. We set up a script, which restarted FR every 2-3 hours, which certainly has its drawback. Now it is time to setup a new system and I'm testing 2.1.6 for some weeks now. I still see the memory consumption rising over the time Output from top every 5 Minutes: SIZE/RES 16M/13M 34M/32M 53M/51M 71M/69M ...it rises about 3-4 MB per Minutes. I read about some issues and tried 2.1.7... still the same. My Setup: SUN X4100, 8GB, Solaris 10 5/09 Configured and installed incl. MySQL, but even if I disabled it for runtime, the memory rises. What would be a good start to debug this? Is there a possibility, to see, which part of the running radiusd consumes what amount of memory? Thanks Best regards, Stefan
