Memory Leak on Nagios 2.3 ?

[Eli Stair]

At the very least, you'd need to get a look at how much Nagios itself is using, not just system-totals (check the manpage for interpreting results of free).  Try 'top -n1 -p $nagiospid' or 'ps -F -p $nagiospid'.  I've gone through several sessions of this (one recently on 2.3) and haven't noticed any egregious leaks.

PS -- this isn't a very good way to do memory profiling, but useful to rule out when you're suspicious a process is inflating.

hi jörg,

is this the +/- buffers/cache? Linux uses free memory for caching and 
frees the cache when needed.

eg. 3GB with 817 used but ~600 buffered
  	
             total       used       free
Mem:          3012        817       2195
-/+ buffers/cache:        211       2801  <= this line matters
