Hi all,
<br />
<br />I'm using systemd in version 197.
<br />I've observed that the heap size of the journald continuously grows.
<br />
<br />I used "cat /proc/[PID_OF_JOUNALD]/smaps for observing the heap size.
<br />
<br />Right after starting the heap size is about 772 kB
<br />
<br />10041000-10102000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
<br />Size: 772 kB
<br />Rss: 652 kB
<br />Pss: 652 kB
<br />Shared_Clean: 0 kB
<br />Shared_Dirty: 0 kB
<br />Private_Clean: 0 kB
<br />Private_Dirty: 652 kB
<br />Referenced: 652 kB
<br />Anonymous: 652 kB
<br />AnonHugePages: 0 kB
<br />Swap: 0 kB
<br />KernelPageSize: 4 kB
<br />MMUPageSize: 4 kB
<br />Locked: 0 kB
<br />
<br />
<br />After 7 days of operation the heap size is about 6272 kB

<br />My journald.conf is the following
<br />
<br />[Journal]
<br />Storage=none
<br />#Compress=yes
<br />#Seal=yes
<br />#SplitMode=login
<br />#RateLimitInterval=10s
<br />#RateLimitBurst=200
<br />#SystemMaxUse=
<br />#SystemKeepFree=
<br />#SystemMaxFileSize=
<br />#SystemMinFileSize=
<br />#RuntimeMaxUse=1M
<br />#RuntimeKeepFree=
<br />#RuntimeMaxFileSize=
<br />#RuntimeMinFileSize=
<br />#ForwardToSyslog=yes
<br />#ForwardToKMsg=no
<br />#ForwardToConsole=no
<br />#TTYPath=/dev/console
<br />#MaxLevelStore=debug
<br />#MaxLevelSyslog=debug
<br />#MaxLevelKMsg=notice
<br />#MaxLevelConsole=info
<br />
<br />
<br />Is it a known bug in version 197?
<br />
<br />Thanks for clearification and help!
<br />
<br />Regards
<br />Christian
