Hey all. I just stumbled across a memory leak in Nagios 3.3.1 which causes about 500 bytes of data (the exact amount varies with contact names, notification types, acknowledgement comments etc) to be lost on each notification opportunity (that is, when a host or service triggers a notification that actually gets sent to one or more contacts).
The leak isn't big and will take a long time to cripple a running system, but you should be aware of it even so and take appropriate measures to avoid any negative impact on your production systems. A weekly restart should prevent leak buildups from reaching anywhere near critical levels. An update to the latest Nagios from subversion should also do the trick. More testing is in progress though, so cautious users (ie, the ones not yet running 3.3.1 anyway) should probably give it a week or two until upgrading.
