Subject: Re: [389-users] 389 DS memory growth
Thanks for the update.
I failed to reproduced any significant growth with groups(100)/members(1000) provisioning. The same with searches on person returning 1000 person entries (bound as DM). We will wait for your profiling info.
This is understood, thank you. It is not a big concern for us, as our servers are at least 16Gb.
We are not using pbkdf2 either.
This is the heap growth above 20Gb (and up) that is the concern, due to queries like (objectclass=person) hiting the server.
At some point in the near future we plan profile a typical server for memory usage, and plan to keep posted.

Hi,
Note that the initial memory footprint of an instance 1.3.11 is larger that an 1.3.10 one.
On RHEL 7.9 2Gb VM, an instance 1.3.11 is 1Gb while 1.3.10 is 0.5Gb.
Instances have the same DS tuning.
The difference comes from extra chunks of anonymous memory (heap) that are possibly related to the new rust plugin handling pbkdf2_sha512.

This is just the initial memory footprint and does not explain regular growth.
Thanks to progier who raised that point.

Hello colleagues,
On March 22nd we updated the 389-ds-base.x86_64 and 389-ds-base-libs.x86_64 packages on our eight RHEL 7.9 production servers from version 1.3.10.2-17.el7_9 to version 1.3.11.1-1.el7_9. We also
updated the kernel from kernel 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 to kernel-3.10.0-1160.88.1.el7.x86_64 during the same update.
Approximately 12 days later, on April 3rd, all the hosts started exhibiting memory growth issues whereby the “slapd” process was using over 90% of the available system memory of 32GB, which was
NOT happening for a couple of years prior to applying any of the available package updates on the systems.
Two of the eight hosts act as Primaries (formerly referred to as masters), while 6 of the hosts act as read-only replicas. Three of the read-only replicas are used by our authorization system
while the other three read-only replicas are used by customer-based applications.
Currently we use system controls to restrict the memory usage.
My question is whether this is something that other users also experience, and what is the recommended way to stabilize the DS servers in this type of situation?
Thanks,
- Alex
