pfSense memory usage

marcvw

We do use a pfSense stack with 2 members, running both on 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3, virtual, running on ESX 6.something. This setup uses CARP to replicate/provide failover. Both are running fine but the backup/secondary node shows much higher memory usage than the primary member. We do not have any issues in performance or availability at this moment but I am wondering what causes this usage. If I restart the node, memory usage will be lower but slowly growing up to about 60% and higher after about 20-25 days.

Both nodes are running the same release, have been upgraded from 2.2.something and have the same services/packages and hardware specs.

Can someone help me how to find the cause, we do use snmp monitoring, what brought me to this question. The memload does not get lower when I restart the (running) services, FPM-service or webconfigurator.

Does it just continue to grow if you don't restart the node?

And the primary does not show that?

Try running top at the command line instead of using Diag > System Activity. Then sort by size instead of cpu usage.
Compare that output on both nodes.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Current status on dashboard is "62% of 2000 MiB" so it is slightly growing. Primary node doesn't.
as requested, top -aSH , sorted by size:

Hmm, well it's all wired usage by the looks of it. Nothing looks dramatically incorrect there really.
I would want to see if that continues to climb if you don't reboot it.

Memory usage is still growing, today's update:

===
Uptime 28 Days 05 Hours 55 Minutes 19 Seconds
Memory usage 81% of 2000 MiB

203 processes: 3 running, 153 sleeping, 47 waiting

Mem: 12M Active, 307M Inact, 1558M Wired, 198M Buf, 71M Free
Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free

===

Still no issues found besides our monitoring check that complains about memory usage :-)

marcvw

Another week has passed, host is using 98% of 2000MiB ram now, still alive and nothing useful is being logged, it has started to use swap as well, currently using 6%. Console (ssh) responds a bit slow but still operates.

I am a bit desperate for the next step, wait for release 2.5, another 2.4.4 patch, reinstall this host, reboot it once a month...

Primary node is using only 22% of its ram, same uptime.

marcvw

System ran out of swap last night and killed all processes:

WebGui died, unable to start it again, console / SSH was available but very slow on response.
I had to reboot the VM to get it online again. Memory usage @14% after reboot.

@marcvw said in pfSense memory usage:

/usr/local/libexec/ipsec/charon

I compared your (visible) processes with mine.
True, something is eating memory. Up to you to find out what process is doing so.

I'm not using this : /usr/local/libexec/ipsec/charon : can you 'kill' ipsec for some time ?

I do not use haproxy.

Btw : I'm using Munin because memory that should be tracked of time - among many other things.

marcvw

Thanks, I have stopped the ipsec service (which killed the processes), we need this because we use ipsec/vpn but to keep track on this issue I can stop it for a while. Despite it has been stopped for some time now the usage of wired mem still grows but I don't see a big difference in- or decrease in usage. I will re-check the values on Monday.

marcvw

Rechecked the memory usage growth, same as before, enabled the ipsec service again. I will continue monitor and troubleshoot this appliance...

stephenw10

So disabling IPSec had no significant effect on the memory usage growth?

marcvw

@stephenw10

No, it does still grow. Waiting for pfSense 2.5 / FreeBSD 12 ;-)

stephenw10

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-p3

Version 2.4.4_3 is available.

Packages Installed :

Openvpn_client
squid
squidguard
cron
sudo
mailreport

The memory usage is growing in each of these device. A sample output of top -aSH command is as below :

Any Pointers,

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.

Steve

ashima

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 -aS then press 'o' and enter 'res'.

Steve

ashima

@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.

stephenw10

You can use top -aS -o res from the gui to get a single snapshot.

I manually killed the ntopng process.
