I've got a persistent issue with a slow (sometimes not that slow) memory leak in FS. Our environment does frequent reconfigs built around reloadxml and when the leak gets bad enough, I start getting random reports of slipping audio sync. I've put in weekly forced failovers, but if we have a week with more changes than typical (we're still in middle of mass migration off of CCM) - the leak growth can be too fast: freeswi+ 17977 12.1 27.2 15247652 2213648 ?

When I look directly at the core dump, it looks to me like the strings are in the parsed state of the XML. (Below slightly masked copy and paste from viewing dump with less.) ------------- ^@!-- xxx-xxx-xxxx --^@ ^@user^@id^@"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx^@^@ ^@params^@ ^@!-- password won't be used by cisco devices --^@ ^@param^@name^@"password^@ value^@"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX^@^@^@ ^@param^@name^@"vm-mailfrom^@ value^@"voicemail@mst.edu^@^@^@ ----------- Would really appreciate any ideas on how I might mitigate this leaking or if there is anything that could be done to help diagnose it further to help address the underlying issue. I'm happy to open a JIRA on this, but will NOT be able to test this with latest master as I can't just experiment with the live production environment. -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger nneul@mst.edu Missouri S&T Information Technology (573) 612-1412 System Administrator - Architect
