Bug 1394816

Having the reports grouped by the the executable this way is not very useful for analysis, as it doesn't actually show which processes are growing most, please provide more granular information, similar to what's requested here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1368103#c6. From the current report, I can only see the ruby set of processes growing, but there are a lot of different process in there.

Thanks, it helps a bit, but I would like to ask for more details if possible:

1. restart foreman-tasks
2. start collecting periodically the `ps aux` output (let's say every minute, if possible)
3. perform the reproducing steps (I assume it's reproducible easily)
4. once the memory grew significantly, run `foreman-rake foreman_tasks:export_tasks tasks=all days=1`
to share what kind of tasks were there
5. I would be also interested into qpid stats:
qpid-stat --ssl-certificate=/etc/pki/katello/qpid_client_striped.crt -b amqps://localhost:5671 -e
qpid-stat --ssl-certificate=/etc/pki/katello/qpid_client_striped.crt -b amqps://localhost:5671 -g
qpid-stat --ssl-certificate=/etc/pki/katello/qpid_client_striped.crt -b amqps://localhost:5671 -c

The investigation so far lead to two issues that caused unnecessary large tasks to be created at every repo sync:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1391704
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398438

Both related to a repo syncing, when library is synced to a capsule

Here is another bug, that came from analysis of further data provided https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1399294

I'm closing this issue, as the original case when opening the issue was closed and there were additional bugs filed identifying specific usages that lead to the memory growth. The reason for closing is avoiding misunderstandings when dealing with several independent issues in one BZ. For future bugs regarding similar memory issues, please see

https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/2785811

to see possible causes of the issues, as well as info how to collect data for faster analysis and provide additional information, when any of the existing bug  mentioned there doesn't correspond to the system behavior and a new BZ needs to be filed.
