Run away RAM usage until outage occurs.
-
Currently experiencing a consistently increasing RAM usage until it reaches high 90%, SWAP usage begins to eventually increase, ultimately causing intermittent outages in service. Rebooting the box resets the RAM usage to about 20% and then it begins climbing again with the same outcome. I've captured this slow steady RAM increase on an InfluxDB instance running within Home Assistant on a raspberry pi 4. See attached picture below:
Any advice on what could be causing this, or how to investigate the possible causes? I've looked within the system activity log and don't see anything alarming, but I'm also not an expert and could be overlooking something.
Other Info:
Running v2.6.0 PFSense on a thin client dedicated box. It is a HP T620 PLUS with Quad core AMD GX-420CA SOC, 4 GB RAM. Packages running are Filer, nmap, openvpn-client-export and Telegraph. -
It's probably one of the packages. try disabling them until it stops increasing.
It may be resolved in 2.7.2, is there any particular reason why you're still running 2.6?

@stephenw10 you're probably right. I know I need to update the version and then update the packages. Fear of change was the main reason, but now that 2.6 has become unstable for me, its time to make it happen!
-
@stephenw10 Wouldn't it be ironic if the Telegraph package I used to graph the problem was the source of the problem!

@deboyd09 I like your sense of humor!

@stephenw10 A cosmic event.
