The confd-key-migrationd process experiences a slow memory leak.
The resident size of the confd-key-migrationd process increases slowly over time, and may eventually exhaust system memory, resulting in OOM killer and system instability (typically after months of uptime).
- primary-key state is frequently retrieved via 'show system aaa' or 'show system aaa primary-key state'. - Equivalent API endpoints such as '/restconf/data/openconfig-system:system/aaa' can also trigger the leak.
Observe the resident size (RSS) of the confd-key-migrationd process with the following command: ps -o pid,vsz,rss,cmd -p $(pidof confd-key-migrationd) It is typically no more than ~20MB on a healthy system. Reboot the system or restart the confd-key-migration-mgr docker container to free up the memory, if needed: docker container restart confd-key-migration-mgr
