<div class="">Are you using linux? If so, which
memory value are you looking at (VSZ, RSS...) ?<br class="">
<br class="">
If you don't use mod_vlc, do you still see FreeSWITCH consuming
this much RAM? Usually FreeSWITCH builds up a memory pool and
won't release that back to the system until after shutdown, but I
don't normally see that go above about 1.2GB of RAM in any of the
systems I work on (though they do not use mod_vlc).<span class=""><font color="#888888" class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Hi, users<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
We are using 6 freeswitch instances, 5 freeswitch
instances for playing streams with mod_vlc. After 3 to 4
for days, we see these (5) freeswitch taking more than
3gb of momory and even though calls are not more than
25. <br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
Usually, some calls stay for more than 2 to 3 hours on
some freeswitch. Everytime we have to restart the
freeswitch to release the captured memory.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
But is believed, freeswitch must release the momory when
there are no calls. But freeswitch still keeps captured
memory.<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
I have attactted the top command result along with this
email. <br class="">
</div>
Willing to perform any test if it helps tackle the problem. <br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
Thanks for your help.<br class="">
