Hey Newbie

 

So you experienced no issues after the upgrade but as soon you get traffic through the device, swap started to increase?

 

In the cases where I troubleshoot swap usage, I tend to generate QKview files with a 4h time difference. Then I check which daemon has increased its swap to see if I can find the daemon leaking memory. If I find the daemon, I run it against the open bug tracker to try and locate a bug for the memory leak. If I cannot I create a case towards the F5 Support.

 

For that specific version there are 46 different memory leak bugs. Check this out:
