We are seeing the same, looks like a memory leak to us but we assumed
that it might be related to our way we monitor the routers.

vSphere 5.5. We also increased the memory to 1gb but it only "takes more
time" to fill.

To us, it seems to be related to SSH connections or logins, and we found
a potential related issue on github indicating a memory leak in
systemd-logind

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/8015

We were able to force the memory going down very quickly (200MB withing
minutes) by using, 2 parallel executions of the following commands ssh
in into a VR from the managemnt host (Sometimes a ctrl-c and restart is
required to enforce it)

while true; do ssh <router_ip> 'free'; done

with the following config

# cat .ssh/config
IdentityFile /var/cloudstack/management/.ssh/id_rsa
Port 3922
ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%l-%r@%h:%p
ControlMaster auto

Host 10.100.10.*
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
