Traccar 5.3 is using tons of memory
Does it keep growing with time or does it stop at a certain value?
I have about 40 devices, memory is about 1.6GB, My VPS is 16GB Ram. Try to bump up your Memory to 8GB at least.
Iván Ávalos please provide a hprof heap dump. Ideally before and after.
Hello Anton,
I had the same issue, it consume all of my memory gradually after 2 hours and stopped working(8082 port is closed and not listening anymore), Device count 150 devices.
CPU:6 vCore
RAM:18 GB
SSD:160 GB
OK. Have you already collected heap dumps?
how to create small heap dumps that you want. As I heap dump, that heap dump file exceeds over alot of GBs, since I have slow connection I cannot able to provide to you. Right now , I restart traccar for every 30min to release some RAM but it is not right solution I know.
I don't think you can reduce the size of the dump, but maybe you can check it yourself and compare.
Hi, did you manage to figure out the potential memory leak issue?
Hello, I've been running Traccar since version 5.1. We have ~600 devices in an AWS server with 1 vCPU and 2GB of memory (+1GB swap). Our database is in a MySQL RDS instance. They sound like a lot of devices, but we were handling them just fine, no issues even with the default half gigabyte of heap in the JVM, until we upgraded to 5.3 and everything broke. Now it's taking almost 1.7 GB most of the time, causing OutOfMemory exceptions constantly, no matter how much we increase the memory limit.
This has to be some memory leak, maybe related with the recent architecture changes in the Traccar source code. The server can't be taking this much memory just for no reason, considering it was doing just fine before. I need to find a way to debug the memory leak and fix it, or else it's going to give us much more trouble.
(Update: Traccar starts with 280 MiB, and it slowly ascends to 1.7 GiB.)
