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.
