Hi,
I've searched the recent messages in the mailing list for memory leaks
and other similar terms and found nothing helpful.
Here's my situation:
I have net-snmp 5.4 running on
- RH8 and CentOS 4.4 systems (compiled with no options to configure)
- Solaris 10. (compiled without embedded-perl because of perl issues)
I also have some copies of 5.1.2 (the official CentOS version) installed
as binary from the CentOS distribution.
In all of these installations, both snmpd and snmptrapd suck up memory
until the system runs out of swap space and dies.
I have had to resort to restarting snmpd and snmptrapd every night to
keep it manageable.
I originally thought the embedded perl may be the problem, but I have
removed all embedded perl modules, and on Soalris it was never installed.
For example, on a CentOS system running net-snmp 5.1.2 from the binary,
the following was the contents of snmptrapd.conf:
========= snmptrapd.conf ==============
forward default 192.168.207.20
==================================
After three/four days, here is the output of top:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
5111 root 16 0 550m 541m 1456 S 0 13.4 188:04.32 snmptrapd
550meg? it started out as 12m.
The same thing happens to all my installations of net-snmp. It happens
equally to snmpd and snmptrapd.
I have taken to restarting all my snmp services every night to keep my
systems from crashing. snmpd and snmptrapd have both taken systems down
by grabbing more memory than I had swap space.
No one else seems to have this problem, at least there's no mention of
it that I can find in this mailing list. I clearly have a problem, but what?
Wht does no one else have this problem? The only thing even vaguely
common to my installations is gcc, and there I have several different
versions in play.
Anyone have a suggestion/clue/idea?
Thanks a lot for whatever suggestions anyone may have. This is driving
me nuts.
Mike
