Hi
Damo,
I've now got my SecurePlatform FP3 box in
production.
I also appear to have a memory leak
on this box.
Here are the stats from Smartview
Status
Date Active Real
Memory
17/01/2003 240932
18/01/2003 264996
19/01/2003 274116
Weekend -less activity on weekend here also
20/01/2003 275040
21/01/2003 303580
22/01/2003 312184
I
agree with you that traffic is involved, I also think that the logging of the
traffic causes the memory to be "used up" more quickly. I noticed a much fast
loss of memory when I put account tracking on two high use
rules.
Someone suggested I install HF1, which I have done. My current free
memory (from 512MB physical) is just over 4 meg. I'm not sure if secure
platform is just caching as much as it can close to this limit, or whether the
memory leak is still present. I guess I'll know in a few more
days.
I am
running Mgmt and Enforcement module on the same box.

Hi All,
I have been away for a few weeks so if someone
has answered this previously please let me know.
I started monitoring my Secureplatform NG FP3
firewall with MRTG in December last year and it has become very apparent to me
that there is a serious memory leak in it. Two of the OID's I am
monitoring are 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.6.7.1.3.0 and 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.6.7.1.5.0
which are amount of free memory total and amount of free memory
available. The server has 512 MB RAM and I notice that it declines
at a rate that brings it down to less than 10 Meg free after about four
weeks. It does however drop less on weekends than on weekdays so it is
presumably usage related.
ps aux doesn't show any significant differences
in the RSS field (which I believe is real memory used) when it has 10 Meg free
than when it has 250 meg free so I am a bit mystified.
I know other people out there are monitoring
their firewalls with MRTG because I have seen messages pertaining to it
before, but has anyone else noticed this memory leak?
regards
Damo
