Memory utilisation gradually increasing

[FULLER, David]

We currently have an issue with memory utilisation in Varnish 5.2.1, we are only using Reverse Proxy not the caching functionality.

We are running it in an AWS ECS Docker container, with 1GB of memory allocated.  Memory increases daily by around 8% until it tops out and site connectivity problems occur.  Redeploying the container resolves the problem and the cycle starts again.

When Varnish starts we have ‘malloc’ set at 100MB, from my understanding this setting is only relevant if caching is being used, which in our case it isn’t.

Has anyone seen a similar problem?

Thanks
