Process WAD_USRINFOHIST High memory usage

Hi,

 

I have a problem on my FortiGate61F, I have a process called "wad_usrinfohist" and it's using 40% of memory on its own.

 

So my fortinet goes to 80% memory usage and goes into conservation mode.

 

When I restart the fortinet, the process goes down again and my fortinet goes back to 40% of total memory usage, but the process goes back up again and brings my fortinet back to 80% after a few days.

 

Do you have any solution to restrict the % of this process?

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

You may consider to upgrade to FortiOS 7.2.4 GA. There are multiple wad memory leak fixes.

Hello Gonzalez,

 

For the moment yes, I hope it will stay like that.

It appears that there is a memory leak in the WAD user info history daemon, and opening a TAC Case will help you in eliminating the issue and optimizing the device resource.
