Unlimited increase in Memory usage

 

Hi,

 

I'm working with F5 Big-IP 1600 v. 10.2.1 my problem is that the Memory Usage, in active item, is increased by about 1% per day. I noticed that Memory Pool Name "Listener" increases daily about 40M.

 

When it comes to 60% Memory Usage, for safety, I restart the device (Memory pool listener aprox. 1.3G).

 

Can anyone give me any possible solution to this problem?.

  • Have also looked at connection and persistence statistics to see if any of those are also increasing?

    Antonio,

     

     

    Found this article: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/12000/600/sol12698.html?sr=25854970

     

     

    May not be the exact symptons/scenario you have but looks like 10.2.0 and 10.2.1 did experience a memory leak in "listener". Suggests 10.2.2 as a fix.

     

     

    Hope this helps,

  • Thanks to all, especially Nathan, I am very grateful.

     

     

    My current situation with 40% of memory usage is:

     

     

    name allocated max_allocated held size tot_allocs

     

    ---------------------------- --------- ------------- -------- ----- ----------

     

    listener 638440640 638441280 1995129 320 8422928

     

    listener (variable) 976 976 976 1 30

     

     

    The memory don´t stop. I understand that the only solution is fix to v.10.2.2. We need scheduled this action, will keep you posted.

     

     

    Thanks a lot.
