[Gluster-users] Geo-Replication memory leak on slave node

Hi Kotresh,

Many thanks for your prompt response.

Below are my responses to your questions;

1. Is this trace back consistently hit? I just wanted to confirm whether
it's transient which occurs once in a while and gets back to normal?
It appears not.  As soon as the geo-rep recovered yesterday from the high
memory usage it immediately began rising again until it consumed all of the
available ram.  But this time nothing was committed to the log file.
I would like to add here that this current instance of geo-rep was only
brought online at the start of this week due to the issues with glibc on
CentOS 7.5.  This is the first time I have had geo-rep running with Gluster
ver 3.12.9, both storage clusters at each physical site were only rebuilt
approx. 4 weeks ago, due to the previous version in use going EOL.  Prior
to this I had been running 3.13.2 (3.13.X now EOL) at each of the sites and
it is worth noting that the same behaviour was also seen on this version of
Gluster, unfortunately I do not have any of the log data from then but I do
not recall seeing any instances of the trace back message mentioned.

2. Please upload the complete geo-rep logs from both master and slave.
I have the log files, just checking to make sure there is no confidential
info inside.  The logfiles are too big to send via email, even when
compressed.  Do you have a preferred method to allow me to share this data
with you or would a share from my Google drive be sufficient?

3. Are the gluster versions same across master and slave?
Yes, all gluster versions are the same across the two sites for all storage
nodes.  See below for version info taken from the current geo-rep master.

I have also attached another screenshot showing the memory usage from the
Gluster slave for the last 48 hours.  This shows memory saturation from
yesterday, which correlates with the trace back sent yesterday, and the
subsequent memory saturation which occurred over the last 24 hours.  For
info, all times are in UTC.

Please advise the preferred method to get the log data across to you and
also if you require any further information.

Many thanks,

Mark Betham
