Opened: Oct 22, 2017 Severity: 3-Major
Following several sync errors, a memory leak occurs in the ASM sync listener process (asm_config_server.pl).
RAM is increasingly consumed, eventually leading to swap usage until the device reaches a panic state.
-- asm-sync is enabled on an auto-sync Device Group. -- Errors occur during attempts to sync, either due to full disk or in response to one or more of the following uses in GUI or REST API: + Creating/importing/deleting policies. + Accepting many suggestions at once. + Adjusting Policy Building Settings. -- The platform is a minimally configured vCMP guest
Restart asm_config_server on all devices using the following command: killall asm_config_server.pl
Memory leak no longer occurs in ASM Sync Listener Process on lightweight platform (such as a vCMP guest).
