Has anyone else experienced a memory leak on the main poller?
I am having to restart the service every few hours because it uses up all the memory on the main poller. It uses over 10GB.
I have not seen a true memory leak, but I did disable hardware polling in my environment because it kept using the memory on my APEs. I have moved all polling to my APEs to allow the poller to run the application more efficiently.
What products / versions are you running? Is your main poller doing any polling? If it is, I would look how much it is polling.
What was the result of your case?
We upgraded 1 week ago and so far this is our only real problem. The RecommendationService consistenly climbs to 9.5 GB fairly quickly after I restart it. I tried turning off Policies that had a lot of things in them, but I'm just considering turning off the entire feature if I can't figure this out...
The result of the case was that 8GB is the low side of the memory requirement for the recommendation engine in our environment. Our environment consists of about 120 ESXi hosts and around 1,200 servers. I find this memory utilization unacceptable. vROPS requires much less to do the same thing. I am about to put in another 32GB of RAM and we will see what happens.
I also upgraded to 12.1 and have a memory leak on SolarWinds Information Service V3. Total was running 8 - 9G but now runs up to the 15G total. I've had a ticket in to dev. but no resolution yet. I need to restart this service everyday or it will cause a problem to the entire system.
