Hi Christian, thankyou for the tips.
I found what the problem is, it was crashing and not going past a certain
object in the “device_skip” table in the database.
I truncated that field in psql, and let it re-populate and that fixed the
automatic discovery and arpnip/macsuck etc.
I have found after a while perhaps 2-3 months something happens in the
“device_skip” table and halts these processes then I need to clear it to make
it work again. I remember I had this similar issue a few months back, then I
remembered what I did.

This would be very concerning, meaning that Postgres is not running at
all. But since you seem to have the web frontend running that is
probably not the case currently, so I wouldn't worry too much. Might be
an old log entry.

That on the other hand might be the issue. Postgres uses all kinds of
memory parameters, if one of them is too small the total GB of RAM
sticks in the server don't matter much.
I had various issues with huge and clogged up discovery queues over the
years, as a first measure I'd try to:
stop netdisco-backend
restart Postgres, connect to the database with "netdisco-do psql" and in
there run a "delete from admin;".
for good measure, also run "reindex table admin;"
restart netdisco-backend
This sounds dangerous but admin is in fact just the queue of actions to
be done, so no important data will be lost.
Also a "select count(*) from admin" first might be interesting, to see
how many rows are in there. If it's an absurdly high number (millions)
you can run e.g. "create table admin_backup as select * from admin;" for
analysis later.
If you're still getting the memory errors afterwards and it still
doesn't work, I'd try to configure the memory parameters with this
assistant, using the "online transaction processing" db type.
