Re: Memory usage
Thanks Darryl! One follow-up about the VIRT size (mine is 55.2GB). I thought the VIRT size includes the entire amount of VARNISH_STORAGE_SIZE (50GB in my case), regardless of how much of the virtual memory is actually being used to store cached objects. This seems to be the case based on a few minutes of experimenting with that setting. So I'm not sure I understand how to determine the amount of virtual memory I'm actually using -- in other words, the amount of RAM I need to add for optimal performance -- from the VIRT and RES numbers alone. Any chance I could ask you to please fill in what I'm missing?

Two things; 1) The varnish process itself requires memory (eg, to hold the ban list etc), which is not part of the file-backed object cache. 2) Even if the above usage were minimal, it is still entirely possibly that your VMM (the OS) has decided that the memory being used to cache objects is more important that some other system processes that have now been shunted out to swap.

This seems to be the case based on a few minutes of experimenting with that setting. That is correct. I was assuming from your initial post (probably wrongly) that your cache was 'full' ie, that there were in your case 50GB of objects cached already. You can see how much of the allocated cache is used with varnishstat; the bytes allocated and bytes free row will tell you this. Unfortunately, what you want is the intersection of bytes allocated and bytes not currently in physical memory and if the entire cache is not full, then it gets pretty tough to know, because Varnish *by design* neither knows nor cares about the OSes swapping arrangements. o I'm not sure I understand how to determine the amount of virtual memory I'm actually using -- in other words, the amount of RAM I need to add for optimal performance -- from the VIRT and RES numbers alone. Any chance I could ask you to please fill in what I'm missing? Probably the two entries from the varnishstat output I mentioned above will give you a better idea. Obviously, if you really have 50GB of items to cache, then you will need a lot of RAM. Perhaps if you monitor the bytes allocated row over time you will see it stabilise - this is the amount of RAM that you would need to keep all your cacheable items in physical memory. Of course, just because something ends up in the cache once, doesn't mean there is necessarily any value in keeping it in physical memory; if no-one ever requests it again, then it makes sense for it to end up in swap... regards, Darryl Dixon Winterhouse Consulting Ltd http://www.winterhouseconsulting.com ___ varnish-misc mailing list varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc

Re: Varnish virtual memory usage
Hopefully your upper management allows you to install contemporary software and distributions. Otherwise memory leaks and x86_64 would be the least of your concerns. Honestly, you're waiting for Varnish to stabilize and you're running v1? My data point: 5 months and over 100PB of transfers, and 2.0.4 is stable and has never leaked in our pure x86_64 production environment. Its memory use can be precisely monitored and controlled between Varnish configuration and the OS environment by any competent sysadmin, IMHO. We actually can't use Squid at all because it really does leak like a sieve. pmap does not lie. I just hope that people that have problems with any software are taking on the responsibility of diagnosing their own environments as much as they expect any OSS project to diagnose its code -- the former is just as often the problem as the latter. -- Ken On Nov 5, 2009, at 12:22 PM, cripy wrote: I experienced this same issue under x64.

No, varnishd still usages way more than allowed. The only solutions I found at the moment are: Run on x64 linux and restart varnish every 4 hours (crontab). Run on x32 linux (all is working as expected but you cant allocate more as 4G each instance). I hope linpro will find this issue and address it.

RE: Varnish virtual memory usage
Awh, Thank you for your comment. I'll make a test case of it tomorrow (or else after the weekend). I will report back. -Original Message- From: Scott Wilson [mailto:sc...@idealist.org] Sent: donderdag 22 oktober 2009 8:52 To: Henry Paulissen Cc: varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no; k...@slide.com Subject: Re: Varnish virtual memory usage We had a similar problem where varnish would fill all swap and crash every couple of weeks. The trick that seems to have solved the problem was to remove purge.url from our VCL (a lot of badly behaved clients send a lot more no-cache headers than necessary). We replaced purge.url with an approach that sets the object's ttl to zero and restarts the request. The details are here: http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/wiki/VCLExampleEnableForceRefresh In our case we're using FreeBSD 7.2 64-bit. All that said, it doesn't seem that this solution jives with Roi's random url test unless purge.url figured in his vcl / testing script. cheers, scott 2009/10/22 Henry Paulissen h.paulis...@qbell.nl: We ran CentOS 5.3 X64 when we noticed this strange behavior. Later on we moved to Fedora core 11 X64. But we where still noticing the same memory allocation problems. Later on we reinstalled the server with vmware to run a couple of (half live a.k.a. beta) tests and noticed it isn’t happening under fedora core 11 x32. We do about 3000 connections/sec for static content (smaller images). For large images ( 200kb), javascript and css we have another instances running (all having the same issues, but im going to tell you about the static content instance). Hitrate is close to the 100% (99-100%). Server core's: 16 Memory: 24GB (VM host server is upgraded to 64GB ram and only doing varnish guests on malloc, so I doubt there's a real performance impact) Tried changing the number of thread_pools and workers, nothing helped. Did the sysctl recommended settings. Disabled conntrack filter in iptables. All incoming requests are with the connection: close close header (we have a high availability server above it, who doesn’t allow keep-alive connections. So he transforms every connection to close). Both storage type's where used. I did noticed something when I changed the lru_interval to 60. The reserved memory was keeping within his limits (before this changing this setting it grow way above max limit). But virtual memory is still way above memory the limit. If we didn’t restart varnish every few hours it grow above the physical memory limit and starts using the swap space. If the varnish server was restarted it freed up the memory. Tried both stable and svn versions.

RE: Varnish virtual memory usage
Maybe it was a bit rough to say indeed... My apologies for that one. What im saying a longer time for now (also sayed to Paul by phone). I'm simply not making enough profit for €8k, but im not saying I don’t want to pay anything for service / support. It’s simply not within my reach and for me it's cheaper to run 6 guests in a big vmware server as paying €8K and get the problem (maybe) solved. Anyway, this is way to offtopic for this thread.

Until we can either reproduce this ourself or get more data (more reports of the same issue, for instance), there really isn't much we can do. For a service agreement customer, we would most likely use their system to reproduce the issue and take it from there. You will understand if we do not log into your system for free to solve a problem which so far has been reported by two people. We do take the issue seriously, but memory leaks that only occur on a specific setup that we do not have access to is nearly impossible to track down. We could read through and verify our code for a year and still not find the bug. Service agreements help sponsor the development of Varnish, in return you get priority on bugs - even the ones that are difficult to track down. We do not require anyone to pay for our service agreements to use Varnish or report bugs, and we do not ignore bug reports from non-paying Varnish users. As you may notice, we (Tollef, Poul-Henning and myself) offer a great deal of support for free on the mailing lists and on IRC, so I think it's a bit unfair to state that we do not care unless you pay for a service agreement, even if we weren't able to help in your specific case. The offer of a service agreement in the ticket was not meant to be an entry-fee to the bug tracker, but rather a means to make us prioritize a complicated bug that we would otherwise have to put on hold.

RE: Varnish virtual memory usage
Can you paste your VCL please? Do you use the purge_url function in it? regards, Darryl Dixon Winterhouse Consulting Ltd http://www.winterhouseconsulting.com I don't remember how long it took exactly, but it filled up rather quickly. Probably a couple of hours. I also noticed the LRU-moved stat was pretty constant all along, no large spikes towards the end of the swap. Anyways, it was WAY over 1GB, we managed to fill more around 6-7GB. Just for kicks, I tried changing the storage to malloc, and limit it to 1GB, to see the difference.

Re: varnish inside openvz: memory usage issue
Isaac Grant skrev: (..) I (think I) understand the varnish's design, but should varnish eat ALL the memory like that ? Varnish uses the VM to differentiate between what's cached in memory and what is put on disk. If the VM doesn't have any other use for the memory it will give it to varnish. The problem is that you are running VM inside a box (the openvz container) which artificially limits the memory usage. If this was a sane VM it would probably page out a lot of Varnish cache and not run out. I guess this is a bug or a weakness of openvz, first and foremost. You could work around the problem by limiting the cache size.

varnish inside openvz: memory usage issue
Hi, I'm running varnish inside an openvz's container. Recently, I started to see problems with varnish using all available memory. It began to happen when we started delivering bigger files: videos (10 to 50MB). Inside a virtual machine having a total 4GB of virtual memory, varnish will eat all memory in less than one hour, at 20-30 req/s. When all memory is used by varnishd, it stops to deliver content. No more process can fork, the only solution is to kill varnishd from outside the VM.. I use version 1.1.2 and tried 2.0-tp2 with similar result. I tested with a malloc and file storage, same result again. I (think I) understand the varnish's design, but should varnish eat ALL the memory like that ? ___ varnish-misc mailing list varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
