Hi Einar,
Memory consumption is a difficult topic. Could you try setting `server.background-workers:
1`? In some cases it helps.
I don't think the problem is in the journal.
BTW, we did some memory optimizations in the development version (3.2). Do you instal Knot
from ports or as a binary package?
We can provide a tarball for testing.
Best,
Daniel

Hi,
I've got a staging environment running, with two signers signing a staging version of
the .is zone (~115k records).
The staging servers are configured with 2 GB RAM and 4 CPU cores, running on FreeBSD
12.2.
We've experienced that knot crashes because the server runs out of memory. The zone
is configured with:
zonefile-sync: -1
zonefile-load: difference-no-serial
journal-content: all
One of the signers, after an hour of running is showing 215 MB resident memory used.
The other signer, that's been running for a whole day is showing 1582 MB resident
memory.
I attached a screenshot showing the amount of memory used over a period of time, and the
graph shows that the amount of memory used very suddenly increases.
I assume the servers are using a lot of memory for the journals, but I'd like to
understand why the sudden increase in used memory, and what to expect about needed
memory?
