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
