Hello, there is a slow leak which is presented in all ceph versions I assume but it is positively exposed only on large time spans and on large clusters. It looks like the lower is monitor placed in the quorum hierarchy, the higher the leak is: {"election_epoch":26,"quorum":[0,1,2,3,4],"quorum_names":["0","1","2","3","4"],"quorum_leader_name":"0","monmap":{"epoch":1,"fsid":"a2ec787e-3551-4a6f-aa24-deedbd8f8d01","modified":"2015-03-05 13:48:54.696784","created":"2015-03-05 13:48:54.696784","mons":[{"rank":0,"name":"0","addr":"10.0.1.91:6789\/0"},{"rank":1,"name":"1","addr":"10.0.1.92:6789\/0"},{"rank":2,"name":"2","addr":"10.0.1.93:6789\/0"},{"rank":3,"name":"3","addr":"10.0.1.94:6789\/0"},{"rank":4,"name":"4","addr":"10.0.1.95:6789\/0"}]}} ceph heap stats -m 10.0.1.95:6789 | grep Actual MALLOC: = 427626648 ( 407.8 MiB) Actual memory used (physical + swap) ceph heap stats -m 10.0.1.94:6789 | grep Actual MALLOC: = 289550488 ( 276.1 MiB) Actual memory used (physical + swap) ceph heap stats -m 10.0.1.93:6789 | grep Actual MALLOC: = 230592664 ( 219.9 MiB) Actual memory used (physical + swap) ceph heap stats -m 10.0.1.92:6789 | grep Actual MALLOC: = 253710488 ( 242.0 MiB) Actual memory used (physical + swap) ceph heap stats -m 10.0.1.91:6789 | grep Actual MALLOC: = 97112216 ( 92.6 MiB) Actual memory used (physical + swap) for almost same uptime, the data difference is: rd KB 55365750505 wr KB 82719722467 The leak itself is not very critical but of course requires some script work to restart monitors at least once per month on a 300Tb cluster to prevent >1G memory consumption by monitor processes. Given a current status for a dumpling, it would be probably possible to identify leak source and then forward-port fix to the newer releases, as the freshest version I am running on a large scale is a top of dumpling branch, otherwise it would require enormous amount of time to check fix proposals.
