Increase in the memory usage of the Genieacs container

Help
1

Hi,

I am using GenieACS version v1.2.13+250122e151 that is installed inside docker container. It works properly for almost 2 years now of which 8 months it has production devices on it (around 800 of them in this moment)

However I noticed increase in the memory usage of the GenieACS container after the start of the FW upgrade action on just 2 devices that doesn’t decrease after that action has been finished. I used both Grafana toll and docker stats command ant both of them show the same. Please find the screenshot in the attachment with red rectangulars showing three moments when I started FW upgrade action from the GenieACS GUI.

After i restart the docker container with GenieACS memory usage drops. Is there some other solution for this issue?

Best regards,

Tarik

I did some additional debugging by using this command:

docker exec -it genieacs bash -c ‘while true; do date; ps -eo pid,rss,comm,args --sort=-rss | grep genieacs; sleep 10; done’

and later this one with longer sleep period:

docker exec -it genieacs bash -c ‘while true; do date; ps -eo pid,rss,comm,args --sort=-rss | grep genieacs; sleep 60; done’

Here is the link with raw logs:

and another summary one:

although in this period situation with memory was pretty stable.

I started one script that activates itself every hour to execute docker stats genieacs command and in the same time to run ps -eo pid,rss,args --sort=-rss | grep genieacs inside genieacs container. Output of more than 24h of running these commands are in this file: Dropbox

There was a FW upgrade on 2 devices around 10:15 today and for that reason there is huge increase in the memory usage between 09:50 and 10:50. Before that there was a small but steady increase in the memory usage of the GenieACS docker container.

Can somebody give me a hint what could be the cause of this constant memory usage or at least tell me that this is what is expected to happen?
