InfluxDB 2.0.4 memory usage

Hello everyone,

I have set up an InfluxDB instance on a VM running Ubuntu 18.04 (1 CPU, 1 GB).
I’ve had a problem with increasing memory usage over time - even with very limited read and writes.
Some other posts have references this same issue, but I haven’t seen a conclusion to why this is happening. See picture:

Blue: memory usage
Orange: CPU usage

When the memory usage peaks the machine will become unresponsive for 5-15 minutes, before resuming to a more reasonable level of memory usage.

Does anyone know a solution to this? Does InfluxDB 2.0 have a memory leak?

Thank you! :smile:

No even a comment on this. We’re on 2.0.7 and having a similar issue. Memory starts growing and it doesn’t seem to get released ever. There is mostly writes to the database and some reads once an hour.

2.0.7 The same to you. I would like to ask you about your actual work. As the amount of data increases, will OOM appear later? Do you have any optimization plans later?Looking forward to your reply。
