Hi all,
As of late (the last 2 weeks or so) I have to restart NTop every few hours, or it crashes, with all available swap being eaten.
If I look at top for about 2 minutes, I can actually see the amount of swap space increasing rapidly. This is the results that I see in top:
last pid: 8449; load averages: 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 up 32+20:16:41 17:20:25
27 processes: 1 running, 26 sleeping
CPU states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 5.8% system, 3.1% interrupt, 90.7% idle
Mem: 97M Active, 13M Inact, 36M Wired, 5868K Cache, 25M Buf, 528K Free
Swap: 512M Total, 488M Used, 24M Free, 95% Inuse, 1592K In, 128K Out
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 94609 root -20 0 517M 107M swread 626:38 0.00% 0.00% ntop
Note the NTop process that seems to be stuck in the swread state.
I might add that I have not seen the behavior in NTop until about 2 weeks ago when it just started eating away on memory.
This is a relatively small network, and NTop is installed in a bridge configuration.
Now, my question: Is there any known problems that can cause this sort of behavior? I know that the version of NTop that I run is a bit older, but, it did not have these problems before.
Here is the details of the software installation:
Ntop:

Any advice appreciated. Thank you in advance.
