Memory leak when using encryption by certificate in Zabbix Agent2.

    • Sprint 103 (Aug 2023)

      Steps to reproduce:

      How to use zabbix.

      1. Enable encryption by certificate in Host settings.
      2. Memory usage will increase over time. 

      How to use the script.

      1. Clone zabbix repository. (git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix.git && cd zabbix)
      2. Place the attached script.rb in the root directory of the repository. (cp <path to script.rb> .)
      3. Run script.rb. (ruby script.rb)

      Result:

      See screenshot for how to use zabbix.

      • The server restarts zabbix-agent2 every day around 6 am.

       

      See the log below for how to use the script.

      You can see that the memory usage increases with the number of calls made by zabbix_get.

      Since tls_description is called from Client#String, the following commit seems to be the cause.

      This is why it has been occurring since version 6.0.19.
