IPS Ram Usage

All-

I am running UTM 9.003-15 currently with 2 instances of IPS. The PC is a core 2 duo with 8gb of ram. I notice that after 3 to 5 days I have to restart the IPS. The percentage of ram usage along with CPU begin to increase absent of an apparent reason. This has been going on since the 9.002 patch. I remain hopeful someone can provide guidence on what the root cause may be. Left unchecked resources will be consumed to the point the ASG does not function correctly.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi William,

Normally ram runs 8 or 9 %, with CPU very low 1 or 2%. When I restarted the ISP yesterday ram was running at 15% and CPU at 11%. At the time no other internet/network services were in use. I have been experiencing the gradual increase over time of IPS resource consumption. The offending resource was the first instance of snort. The second instance was very low. So as the first instance of snort resource consumption increases so does CPU utilization.(understandably). While I don't have exact numbers in hand this should get us started.

Thanks,
Jim
