High Memory

[FortiLearner]

We have this odd issue where the CPU is spiking to 88% on avg its 82% and causing the firewall

We have rebooted the firewall which solves the issue for about 2 weeks.

To make it worse cmdbsvr crashed and the firewalls failover.

Tried killing wad but 1 second later its all back.

Plus all demons go into sleep.

FGT is on version 6.2.2.

Current situation:

Try upgrading to 6.2.3 as it appears to fix some issues with the WAD workers (or other issues).  See the Proxy section in the release notes.

I agree.. 6.2.2 had some nasty memory leaks.

Thank you all, planning is in process for a upgrade. I suspected a memory leak but could not convince myself that a memory leak could appear in version 6.2.2. Fingers crossed for the upgrade hope there is no nasty surprises.

Upgraded to 6.2.3, so far so good no memory issues.
