Hi,

I have been searching for memory usage in the server. This are the results:

389-ds 1.2.5 in a CentOS 5.5 64bits 4GB ram and 6GB swap

* The ns-slapd proccess reaches 11GB of virtual memory. pmap shows multiple [anon] using the bigger part of that 11G virtual memory. I think the [anon] are memory reservation from malloc and mmap but I don't know what call this.

* Looking for cachememsize using this search for one of the database

ldapsearch -H ldaps://localhost -x -LLL -b "cn=monitor,cn=o_xxxx,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W "(objectclass=*)" | grep entrycache
Enter LDAP Password: 
entrycachehitratio: 99
currententrycachesize: 49973691
maxentrycachesize: 125829120
currententrycachecount: 6521
maxentrycachecount: -1

I have prime that database searching all entries with -> ldapsearch -H ldaps://localhost -x -LLL -b "o=cabu,dc=sacyl,dc=es" -D "cn=directory manager" -W "(objectclass=*)" 1.1 | grep dn: | wc -l 
The result is 7610 entries in that database, so looking the monitor again:

currententrycachesize: 59315175
maxentrycachesize: 125829120
currententrycachecount: 7611

The id2entry.db4 for that database is 59539456 so I guess I can reduce the cachememsize from 125829120 to about 60000000 Correct me if I am wrong.
And the same for all the another database.

* Now dbcachesize:

ldapsearch -H ldaps://localhost -x -LLL -b "cn=monitor, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins,cn=config" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W "(objectclass=*)"  | grep dbcache
Enter LDAP Password: 
dbcachehits: 1440910461
dbcachetries: 1440919648
dbcachehitratio: 99
dbcachepagein: 9187
dbcachepageout: 128041
dbcacheroevict: 9265
dbcacherwevict: 0

In some place I have read that dbcacheroevict and dbcachepageout should be 0 or increase the dbcachesize but if the ratio is 99 that should be ok, right?

The thing is, if i search with db_stat for cache statistics says ratio=99

db_stat -h /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-xxx/db/ -m
0 Total cache size
1 Number of caches
800MB Pool individual cache size
0 Maximum memory-mapped file size
0 Maximum open file descriptors

0 Sleep after writing maximum sequential buffers
0 Requested pages mapped into the process' address space
1448M Requested pages found in the cache (99%)

9588 Pages read into the cache
129932 Pages written from the cache to the backing file

0 Dirty pages written by trickle-sync thread
98066 Current total page count
98005 Current clean page count

131071 Number of hash buckets used for page location
1447M Total number of times hash chains searched for a page (1447895423)
5 The longest hash chain searched for a page
2819M Total number of hash buckets examined for page location (2819107178)
932 The number of hash bucket locks that required waiting (0%)
86 The maximum number of times any hash bucket lock was waited for
1 The number of region locks that required waiting (0%)
9728 The number of page allocations
60012 The number of hash buckets examined during allocations
1381 The maximum number of hash buckets examined for an allocation
9669 The number of pages examined during allocations
1 The max number of pages examined for an allocation

If I look for an index like inetuserstatus (pres and eq) I get "Requested pages found in the cache" less than 99% so I search for "inetuserstatus=*" (pres) and "inetuserstatus=active", "inetuserstatus=inactive" (eq) but the "requested pages" don't reaches the 99  or 100% and there is no more possibilities for that index.


The thing is, why ns-sldapd is growing to consume all the swap and all the ram memory the SO lets it. 
Any idea or suggestion???

you could use
ldapsearch ... -b  "cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config" "cn=monitor" currententrycachesize

to monitor the usage of the entrycache.
But be aware that the process uses more memory than just the caches and the memory manager can also generate some overhead.

Ludwig

yes, thats correct, but shouldn't use all that memory because don't need so much memory

I have a memory issue with 389-ds 1.2.5 in a CentOS 5.5 64bits 4GB ram. 

The server swaps when the server physical memory increase over 75% approx. When the swap is full the server reaches 100% of physical memory and the SO kills the ns-ldapd process.

Out of memory: Killed process 30383, UID 99, (ns-slapd).

The cache sizes are:

nsslapd-dbcachesize: 838860800
nsslapd-import-cachesize: 20000000
nsslapd-cachememsize: 125829120 (for each 26 db)
do you mean you have 26 db backends with 125MB entrycache each ? So you would reach 3.2GB for entrycache and 800MB dbcache.

Ludwig


Which can be the problem?
