Collectd high memory usage causing poor host/instance performance or inability to allocate memory
Issue
- The container
collectd
is using a large amount of the available memory of the system due to a memory leak if it cannot offload metrics tometrics_qdr
. - This can lead to performance issues within Nova, or the inability to allocate additional memory if all available memory is consumed.
