Hey Mitja,

I'm looking to get Botnets with Events configured for my nfsen installation.  I 
was wondering if you can share of the steps you used?

Thanks,

-ryan

Subject: Re: [Nfsen-discuss] memory problem

Update:
I have tested a little and found out that RAM/SWAP consumption is done by 
plugin "nfsight". Even though I configured nfsight to use 512M of RAM it goes 
beyond that.
Problem is with networks that I added, two /16 and I guess this is to much for 
server to handle it. I now added only one /16 as an internal network and  it 
works but most of the traffic is generated form other /16.
I am using nfsight-beta-2013-03-23.
I don't have much experience with this so I don't really know what is normal 
behavior for this plugin. Maybe someone who have used it for a while can tell 
theirs statistics.

I installed Nfsen 1.3.6p1 and nfdump 1.6.9 on FreeBSD 9.1. I'm using these 
plugins: SURFmap, PortTracker, Botnets (with Events) and nfsight.
Everything was working great for more then a month. Today I noticed strange 
behavior of process "nfsend-comm" which started using 2 CPU and entire RAM + 
entire SWAP. At that time nothing really special was done except watching 
graphs.
I tried restarting nfsen service and it was working for a minute and then again 
nfsend-comm starts using RAM and CPU.

Yesterday I added plugin PortTracker and upgraded nfdump from 1.6.8 to 1.6.9. I 
don't really know if it has anything to do with this problem since everything 
was working fine for 24 hours.
I tried and disabled PortTracker but it didn't help.

If logs are needed I can provide them but I didn't see anything interesting in 
messages and nfsen log.
I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me how to proceed with debugging 
this or if anyone already had this problem and knows a solution.
Thank you in advance.
