FortiProxy-VM 64 Memory Usage

Hello Fortinet Community,

 

My FortiProxy-VM64 has a very typical memory utilization (printscreen below). It seems that the memory keeps increasing for periods of 6 months approximately until around 80% and then it decreases abruptly to 25%.

I do not do any periodic maintenance like reboots, cache cleaning or something similar.

Is this kind of memory utilization normal under typical load? Also, could you please advise what are the recommended memory usage thresholds to watch for?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards

Yup seems like memory leak bug to me. Upgrading to the latest version may be the solution and @BillH_FTNT  's suggestion as well.

Please check the current firmware version running on the device and any known issues related to memory leaks.

I upgraded my 60E at home to 6.4.1, and after a few days it went into conserve mode. It's not using any UTM features, only basic firewalling.

Version 6.4.1 is outdated and no longer supported by TAC. Please upgrade to the latest version. Before upgrading, ensure you follow the upgrade path and review the release notes.
