High memory swapping since update to Sophos UTM 9.714-4

TheExpert

Hi all,

before the update to Sophos UTM 9.714-4 I had 10% swap usage in maximum. Since the update it increased day by day until yesterday to about 75%. Then I shut down the HA-Cluster (active/passive) and started the two nodes again. The swap usage increased again to 20%.

There was no change of the configuration. There was only the update to Sophos UTM 9.714-4.

Can anyone confirm this behavior of the newest release of the Sophos UTM? Is there any idea to solve this?

Thank you.

    If you have the bare minimum memory installed on UTM, especially with 64-bit mode changing in 9.713, you will see the swap increase exponentially. If this is a VM, I would allocate more memory to it. 

    This is the issue I have with UTM (and XG) - it's great that things are finally going 64-bit.  The problem is the hardware originally allocated (either original hardware or VM when built) to them were not. UTM isn't a big deal, just add more memory. I have 16GB for UTM, 0% swap usage.  Home use XG users though are limited and (honestly) a bad design decision.  Out of the box with no configuration you are using 60% memory, and it just gets worse each time you add a rule, change configuration, etc.
