Public bug reported: Hi!
We had to restart syslog-ng because it was using 37GB of memory. We're on 3.5.3-1 on Trusty. The syslog-ng changelog says that 3.5.6-1 is "fixing a major memory leak", could that be it? http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/s/syslog-ng/syslog-ng_3.5.6-2/changelog Here's /proc/4126/status from the syslog-ng process before I killed it: " Name: syslog-ng State: S (sleeping) Tgid: 4126 Ngid: 0 Pid: 4126 PPid: 4125 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 0 0 0 0 Gid: 0 0 0 0 FDSize: 512 Groups: 0 10000 10001 10008 VmPeak: 37972880 kB VmSize: 37971560 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmPin: 0 kB VmHWM: 30759688 kB VmRSS: 28501192 kB VmData: 37915340 kB VmStk: 136 kB VmExe: 8 kB VmLib: 6532 kB VmPTE: 74184 kB VmSwap: 9415972 kB Threads: 1 SigQ: 2/514938 SigPnd: 0000000000000000 ShdPnd: 0000000000000000 SigBlk: 0000000000000000 SigIgn: 0000000000401000 SigCgt: 0000000180016003 CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: 0000000400002c0f CapEff: 0000000400000000 CapBnd: 0000001fffffffff Seccomp: 0 Cpus_allowed: ffffffff Cpus_allowed_list: 0-31 Mems_allowed: 00000000,00000003 Mems_allowed_list: 0-1 voluntary_ctxt_switches: 1566531071 nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 7187937 " $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 $ apt-cache policy syslog-ng syslog-ng: Installed: 3.5.3-1 Candidate: 3.5.3-1 Version table: *** 3.5.3-1 0 400 http://debmirror:9888/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: syslog-ng (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394101 Title: syslog-ng 3.5.3-1 using 37GB of memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslog-ng/+bug/1394101/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
