#9 Memory use?

[Anonymous]

Is this normal?

5589 _fprobe 4 0 355M 335M sleep bpf
147:43 2.00% fprobe

Seems quite high for only tracking 5mbps.

CMD line is:

/usr/local/sbin/fprobe -f ip -i em1 -n 5 -q 70000 -a
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -b 32000 -c /var/empty -u _fprobe -l 1
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX

Thanks!

Hello. Sorry for delay.

Memory usage didn't derectly depends on bandwidth - it
depends on number of active connections:

# ps -o cmd 7341
fprobe -ieth0 -p -fip -B4096 -r2 -v7 -q10000 localhost:2055

# kill -s USR1 7341;tail /var/log/syslog
fprobe[7341]: [DEBUG]: I: received:43508145/17325
(16845974727) pending:0/36
fprobe[7341]: [DEBUG]: I: ignored:0 lost:0+0 dropped:0
fprobe[7341]: [DEBUG]: I: cache:1252/2 emit:7352819/260335/0
fprobe[7341]: [DEBUG]: I: memory:20000/8746 (1280032)

There is allocated two memory bulks, 10000 flows within
each. 10000 flows occupied by pending queue, 1254 - by
active connections and 8746 - free. Each flow takes about 64
bytes. 20000 * 64 ~ 1280032. This is normal.

So, recompile your fprobe with --enable-debug=I and see what
happening.
