hostagentd resident memory keeps leaking over time. Unexplained system instability. Health monitors might work intermittently.
hostagentd consumes more than 400 MB of resident memory. In some cases, the process consumes more than 1 GB. This might cause system instability and intensive usage of vCMP host swap memory.
This occurs when host uptime is two months or longer.
Restart hostagentd on vCMP host.
Many stability and other improvements have been made to hostagentd daemon and associated functionality, so that memory leaks on vCMP hosts no longer occur.
