valgrind is your best bet: valgrind --tool=memcheck --log-file=vg.log --leak-check=full --leak-resolution=high --show-reachable=yes /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -vg run this on normal traffic for a while and get the log file. if you unload mods it would not help with a leak but it would with a swelling pool.

Hello,
I'm experiencing what I think is a memory leak in a production system with a recent git (2-Nov), with FS consuming >5GB and increasing after a few days with never more than 10 calls at once.
While the users are not experiencing problems so far, I'm a bit worried. So I have a few questions:
- How can I be sure it's a leak and not some memory pool thing that FS would free when the system needs (system has 10GB total)?
- If I unload modules one by one, is the memory used by this module freed immediately?
- What would be a "good" way to try and narrow down the cause? Is valgrind a good tool for that?
Of course I'll try with GIT HEAD and try my best to find the cause before considering to add a new Jira issue, otherwise it's quite useless.
Thanks, François.
