So what was the memory before it started to grow? Was it steady on this level? How much is it growing? And not using the redis instance for anything else? (redis-cli info) </blockquote> Hi Anders, thanks for your fast and really appreciated reply. The memory has also been stable, around 8/9% of total server available RAM. Now is around 61% and it grows more or less of +4% a day. So to be optimist we have a week before everything will crash :-( Redis is used only by bischeck, except for a couple of script reading datas from it (but are very old and light scripts, so I exclude they can cause the issue). Here below a screenshot of memory growth: <img moz-do-not-send="false" src="cid:part1.25CA7D61.05594B0A@skylogic.it" alt="asdasd" width="844" height="260"> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:b7862bea-57da-ee27-c25b-9f0fd635c8e2@ingby.com"> It's a good sign that your memory is the same between restarts, since that means that the redis persistence works. Have you restarted bischeck after the 20 Nov? </blockquote> Yes we have done some restarts, the last this morning to load a new redis configuration ( I set logs to debug level). <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:b7862bea-57da-ee27-c25b-9f0fd635c8e2@ingby.com"> When it comes to the memory config in redis there are a number of strategies to manage memory, but in the bischeck setup redis is used as a data store and not as a cache, so you would not like to have any eviction polices. Setting max-memory will just make any write fail when redis is at its max-memory. I think its safe to upgrade redis to a later version, but please try it first. Currently I run bischeck on 4.0.2 without problem. At the same time I do not think this is a redis bug. To track what goes on in the your redis instance you can check with redis-cli. Every servicedefinition becomes its own list in redis. You can check the size (llen) of the list and see if its relates to your purge configuration. You can also read the first and last entities in the list to check the time stamp (lrange). Depending on the bischeck config you may also have additional lists for the servicedefinition for aggregrations. /Anders </blockquote> Ok, i'm writing a script to get, from Redis server, the lenght and the timestamp of every list writtend by Bischeck. I hope to find out if there is something growing too much. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for your support.

We are a bit worried as also after a Redis server restart the situation is the same (the RAM taken is equal before and after the restart). I would exclude the issued has been caused by a configuration change, the issue started on 20 November at 11:44PM when nobody was working on bischeck. I'm enabling logs in order to see if there is something wrong. In the meanwhile does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed? Upgrading to Redis 4.0 (stable) can be done maintaining the retro-compatibility with Bischeck? (we have Redis 2.8.23) As a workaround I was thinking to enable the Redis option 'maxmemory' with the 'maxmemory policy': about this last option, as we need all keys to be maintained on database, does anyone know as can be set? (I've read something about key eviction but i still don't have any clear idea).
