I understand that this problem may have very little to do with CentOs, but it happens to occur on a CentOS webserver and maybe you’ll have a clue.
Since a few months, after many upgrades on several blogs (now running with PHP7), our server is eating up RAM no end. PHP processes swell to over 2 GB (each) and when the whole RAM and the whole swap are full, problems stack up and finally paralyze the system. This despite having “memory_limit = 512M" in all php.ini (there are several PHP versions on the system, selection is made via .htaccess).
CenOS 6.9 on a Xeon 8 cores with now 64 GB RAM.
This is a snip of a top this morning, just 2 days after the latest reboot:
