satellite 6Mongod process with wiredTiger engine consumes half RAM
Please see this solution https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4505561 at access.redhat.com if you are experiencing these symptoms:
Environment
- Red Hat Satellite 6
- mongo configured with wiredTiger mongo engine
Issue
- mongo updated to use wiredTiger storage engine
- Sometimes, mongod consumes randomly high memory (up to 1/2 of all RAM)
- This aggressive memory usage limits other processes or can cause OOM killer to kill mongod
- Is that high memory usage expected? Is there a way to limit memory footprint of mongod?
