[hobbit] Memory usage BBWIn 0.8

[Ivan Verbeeck]

Hello,

I just checked the memory use of BBwin after appr. 60hours without any
external tests and its now > 14Mb. I also checked all the .ddl versions
and there all 0.8.0 or 0.8.1. (seems normal because it was the first
release on that machine). 
Now i'm gone stop the service, remove all files and reinstall the
package, maybe there was something with the installation.

Regards,
Ivan

Your mail worry me a little bit ...

Could you check that this server is well installed with BBWin 0.8 ?
there were a memory leak on the older BBWin releases but BBWin 0.8
should be ok.

Could you post your BBWin.cfg file and tell me what Windows version are
you using ?

Sometimes BBWin may need more memory when a lot of events logs are send
to the hobbit server.

On my test servers, I run BBWin with a timer of 5 seconds (so it
simulates many weeks of monitoring with a few days) for each agent so I
can check if memory is growing. It never goes over 7 Mb.

As Rich said, me be try some times to run without the perl externals
even if it should never take memory in the BBWin process itselft.
