Devi,
        After freeing varbind, usage should decrease; PDU is already freed in 
netsnmp_send_traps() itself ( invoked by send_v2trap). Sending trap or inform? 
Are you receiving the traps in trapd?  Cross check the API usage in other 
implementations (grep send_v2trap `find . -name "*.c"`)

        We used method similar to apps/snmptrap.c and there is no memory usage 
raised / leaks. Pls refer snmptrap.c file for session creation & deletion.

Santhosh,
 
Thanx for ur immediate response.
followed the same example - /examples/notification.c 
 
snmp_free_varbind is called in our code after send_v2trap(). 
 
In top output, i can see the size remains same even after snmp_free_varbind() 
is called.should size decrease after free is called?
 
For every 100 msec, callback will be called,snmp_varlist_add_variable() is used 
to store the variables and send_v2trap() is called for sending a single trap.
 
I dont know how to create session / send all traps in a single session.
 
Thanx,
Devi.U

Hi Devi,
        The increase shown in top is memory usage by the application; all 
increased bytes might have not been leaked.

        You need to free the varbinds after sending each trap/inform.
                snmp_free_varbind(notification_vars);
        refer: http://www.net-snmp.org/dev/agent/notification_8c-example.html  

        Print the "top" output after freeing varbind and check the usage.

        Are you using single session to send all trap/inform or creating 
session before sending each inform/trap?

Hi,
 
thanx santhosh..
I am able to purify the code..
 
I feel that memory leak is there when send_v2trap is called, but i am not 
getting any MLK/PLK  in traces
 
top display:
 
26760 root       1   0   19 9248K 5608K run     0:01  0.30% snmpd
 
top display after a trap is sent ===> for each  trap sent there is a increase 
of 40K in SIZE and goes upto 50M.
26760 root       1   0   19 9288K 5648K run     0:01  0.31% snmpd
 
we are using net-snmp version 5.3.0.1.
 
whether above increase in SIZE is memory leak?
 
Thanx,
Devi.U
