A memory leak can be seen under MallocLite/AAA proxy when using NETCONF/RESTCONF to get information from the device. The leak is seen if the device has AAA remote authentication configured. # show processes memory sorted | include Processor|PID|MallocLite Processor Pool Total: 3789108700 Used: 407430776 Free: 3381677924 PID TTY Allocated Freed Holding Getbufs Retbufs Process 0 0 0 0 3414432 0 0 *MallocLite* # # show memory lite-chunks totals Tracekey : 1#72257e896f3759d22c0de6b7878543ef Total Count PC 800000 10000 :5592FCDD5000+11FF07F9 250592 3748 :5592FCDD5000+1217E444 ## 10000 GET AAA Authorization successful # show processes memory sorted | include Processor|PID|MallocLite Processor Pool Total: 3789108700 Used: 407594848 Free: 3381513852 PID TTY Allocated Freed Holding Getbufs Retbufs Process 0 0 0 0 3480064 0 0 *MallocLite* # # show memory lite-chunks totals Tracekey : 1#72257e896f3759d22c0de6b7878543ef Total Count PC 816320 10204 :5592FCDD5000+11FF07F9 250592 3748 :5592FCDD5000+1217E444
- NETCONF/RESTCONF. - AAA remote authentication has been configured.
- A reload can be used to clear the leaked memory. - Use local authentication.
The leak can occur at a faster rate if AAA authorization requests fail. # show processes memory sorted | include Processor|PID|MallocLite Processor Pool Total: 3789108700 Used: 407594848 Free: 3381513852 PID TTY Allocated Freed Holding Getbufs Retbufs Process 0 0 0 0 3480064 0 0 *MallocLite* # # show memory lite-chunks totals Tracekey : 1#72257e896f3759d22c0de6b7878543ef Total Count PC 816320 10204 :5592FCDD5000+11FF07F9 250592 3748 :5592FCDD5000+1217E444 ## 10000 GET with 0ms delay and AAA Authorization failed %DMI-5-AUTHENTICATION_FAILED: R0/0: dmiauthd: Authentication failure from x.x.x.x for rest over http. #show processes memory sorted | include Processor|PID|MallocLite Processor Pool Total: 3789108700 Used: 408579328 Free: 3380529372 PID TTY Allocated Freed Holding Getbufs Retbufs Process 0 0 0 0 4464544 0 0 *MallocLite* # # show memory lite-chunks totals Tracekey : 1#72257e896f3759d22c0de6b7878543ef Total Count PC 1616240 20203 :5592FCDD5000+11FF07F9 250592 3748 :5592FCDD5000+1217E444 - Additionally, the leak can cause Out of IDs messages.
