Hi<br>
Are you sure it's not the linux file/buffer cache that's using all
your ram? (does ps/top show nginx or the worker processes using it
directly?)<br>
Linux and most/all other unix variants will fill up unused ram with
cached versions of the most recently used files so they don't have
to be read from disk each time... it's completely normal and
expected behaviour :)<br>

<div dir="ltr">I have two nginx instances (nginx/1.0.15) on a 4GB
RAM machine. Each instance runs fewer than 25 requests as
reported with stub_status on; <br>
<br>
The problem is that once nginx is started from scratch it starts
eating (or reserving?) RAM progressively as reported by free -m,
up to the point where it leaves only 2-5mb left and then it
doesnt go past that. In about 7 days it has eating everything.
Nginx doesnt crash, nor does it touch swap but I definately feel
it compromises system resources to the point iam concerned as in
a production spike its wise to think the server has no room. <br>
<br>
This is the exact same issue on 4 other nginx machines I have. <br>
<br>
In order to start over again I must kill -QUIT the PIDs , delete
the log file (which is smaller then 800mb) and then all goes
back to the cycle.<br>
<br>
Please indicate me what pieces of information I can supply to
debug this issue.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Joseph<br>
