pfSense memory usage
-
So disabling IPSec had no significant effect on the memory usage growth?
-
No, it does still grow. Waiting for pfSense 2.5 / FreeBSD 12 ;-)
-
Try a snapshot if you can. Now is the time to be finding bugs that may still exist there.

Hi Everyone,
I guess I am also facing a similar issue at atleast three different sites. All the locations have similar configuration :2.4.4-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Thu Sep 20 09:03:12 EDT 2018
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p3Version 2.4.4_3 is available.
Packages Installed :
Openvpn_client
squid
squidguard
cron
sudo
mailreportThe memory usage is growing in each of these device. A sample output of top -aSH command is as below :

You need to sort that output by 'RES' to see what's actually using it but we can see Squid is using close to 1G so that probably needs tuning.

Thanks @stephenw10 for pointing that.
Now the memory usage reached 98% so I just rebooted the machine. It's reduced to 21%. Btw I have 4GB RAM.
Can you have a look at the top output at 2nd location. (I don't know how to sort with RES ). Please note in this machine squid is using 367M. The squid configuration is exactly same in all these locations. Only difference between two locations is difference in Uptime days. (former was ~200 days and latter is ~35 days)

@ashima said in pfSense memory usage:
20896 root 20 0 540M 476M nanslp 1 14:04 0.00% /usr/local/bin/php-cgi -q /usr/local/bin/notify_monitor.php
That looks odd.
But you also have ntopng running there consuming a lot.
Run at the command line
top -aSthen press 'o' and enter 'res'.Steve
-
@stephenw10 I am using GUI command line. I am using openvpn to login in these remote machines.Can I use top -aS and press o with GUI.
-
You can use
top -aS -o resfrom the gui to get a single snapshot. -

You definitely have an issue with notify_monitor.php there. Something it is calling is using a load of ram.
Try running
ps -auxwdto what is actually using that.Steve

I forgot to mention: I am also using Service Watchdog and Freeradius. The former keeps a watch on the latter and notifies by sending a mail. Are these the culprit ?
-
Hmm, nothing shown, I was hoping to see processes it generated or was generated from.
That should not be using anything like that. Do you see any related errors in the system log? Is it actually sending notifications?
This seems unrelated to the OPs issue though. It should probably be in a new thread.

Thanks @stephenw10 for the response. I am sorry @marcvw for hijacking this thread.
I guess "sending notification" is the culprit. I am using a dummy Gmail account for all notifications from different sites. When I checked the log in between it shows this message :
Error: Failed to send data [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 550, response: 5.4.5 Daily user sending quota exceeded. f188sm5666858pfa.170 - gsmtp)]
May be this is causing the issue. If that is not the case, please let me know. I'll start a new thread and we can continue our discussion.

@ashima said in pfSense memory usage:
Error: Failed to send data [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 550, response: 5.4.5 Daily user sending quota exceeded. f188sm5666858pfa.170 - gsmtp)]
Gmail said that ??
Never saw that before. We're talking an awful lot of mails here. You should definitely investigate that.Btw : 'watchdog' FreeRadius ? It never shut down on me.
When you think you need watchdog package, you actually need to sort out the problem that makes a process crash. -
@Gertjan @stephenw10
The discussion is getting interesting. I am starting a new thread,https://forum.netgate.com/topic/146882/pfsense-memory-usage-part-2
