Sun Enterprise 6500/5500/4500/3500 Server Bugs

Increased Memory Consumption by Config Reader (4808821)

In some Sun Enterprise^TM systems, the Config Reader increases memory consumption over time.

Workaround: Choose from one of the following workarounds:

• Restart the agent every one or two months.

• Edit the agent file to slow down the refresh interval.

  You can change the system nodes refresh interval in the /opt/SUNWsymon/modules/cfg/Config-Reader4u-d.x file from 300 seconds to 900 seconds. This change slows downs the data refresh interval to every 15 minutes, which enables the agent to run for up to six months before needing to be restarted.
