High Memory Usage

Legacy Uncategorised

We have noticed that our tentacles have been running a little hot in our environments. I have included a screenshot of our “resting” tentacle when no deployments are occurring (and not occurred for ~12 hours?) I am not sure what is causing this, but restarting the tentacle returns it to low memory usage until the next deployment or several. The ram seems to sneak up every so often however I do not have a trend for this currently. If you can provide any more information that would be very helpful.

For reference our deployments consist of:
~ 23 packages totalling 1 gb packed and 4 gb unpacked.

Hi Brent,

Thanks for getting in touch! This is part of the bug we fixed in 2.6.1. There was a bug in the code that creates too many timers, and the longer the service is running the more that add up and you would see this happening. It also accounts for the thread pool usage you found with your reporting.

Hope that helps!
