[como-devel] Memory leak problem

[Oana G. <oan...@en...>]

Hello,

Lately I have been testing CoMo and I observed a memory leak problem 
when this is running with flowtools sniffer.

I am using CoMo v1.5 because the v2 is not working correctly with 
flowtools sniffer (is only reading files till the current moment, and 
after, when flowtools is generating new files they are not read by CoMo).

I observed that the problem is starting after CoMo has finished to read 
all the flowtools files and is just waiting for new ones, and eventually 
reads them when they appear.
I tested CoMo with valgrind, and this, indeed, showed that there are 
memory leaks:

LEAK SUMMARY:
==25325==    definitely lost: 8,391,809 bytes in 2,325 blocks.
==25325==    indirectly lost: 67,726,144 bytes in 1,026,184 blocks.
==25325==      possibly lost: 13,728 bytes in 14 blocks.
==25325==    still reachable: 202,062 bytes in 1,721 blocks.
==25325==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.


I attached to the email a png image that is showing the evolution of the 
memory and also the log of valgrind.

My concern is that after a few hours of running CoMo the system crashes 
because of insufficient memory.

Thank you,
Oana
