Environment
Symptoms
- Memory warnings on the server/cluster machines
- Gunicorn processes related to Coreservices component consuming excessive memory on EDR server/cluster
Cause
Slow memory leak in Coreservice component tracked as CB-33589
Resolution
- Edit /etc/cron.d/cb file on EDR Server (master/minions in case of cluster)
- Add the following lines just before the last line in the file ("# Cron requires that each entry in a crontab end in a newline.")
CentOS/RHEL 6.x:
# CB-33589 workaround
0 23 * * * root /etc/init.d/cb-coreservices restart
CentOS/RHEL 7.x:
# CB-33589 workaround
0 23 * * * root /bin/systemctl restart cb-coreservices
- Coreservices component will restart at 11pm nightly which addresses the underlying memory issue.
