[asterisk-users] 1.4 memory leak?

[Salvatore Giudice]

How much memory do you have on that server? Go ahead and install monit,
configure it for checking memory usage, and have it page you when it goaes
above 25%, etc.

 

Only time will tell if it's a real memory leak that will need to be
addressed.

You're right, 11megs isn't scary at all.   It's the 106 megs from Monday
that worried me.

With all due respect, I believe you might be a bit paranoid.
 
10-11M is quite normal for the linux kernel to allocate for asterisk.
It's not necessarily what the process is using, but that's just how
memory management works within the kernel.
 
What's 10-11M of RAM these days anyway?

Is there a memory leak in asterisk 1.4?
 
The other day with asterisk 1.4.0 I noticed that top was reporting a RES
of 106 meg for the asterisk process.  Restarting the process brought it
down to more like 4 meg, but it grew over time to be 20+.   So yesterday
morning I upgraded to 1.4.4 in case this is something that had been
addressed.   Again I started with a RES of like 4meg or so, but this
afternoon I'm up to 11megs:
VIRT  RES  SHR     SWAP  CODE DATA                              30932 
11m 5608    18m  1012  17m
 
Is this a real issue or do I have something else going on?
