 Description   

Since our DB server is behind a firewall, the zabbix agent is configured as active check mode sending out data via http proxy server (there is a WideCap 1.5 Proxifier program to convert the traffic at port 8080 to port 10051). It works well but zabbix agent memory usage continues to increase from 9820K to 51544K in around 6 hours, then it finally crashes due to out of memory exception. The following is the problem signature recorded by Windows server:

What is the state of this issue now? Do you have zabbix items or custom items?

Comment by Alexander Vladishev [ 2015 Feb 27 ]

This issue can be fixed in ZBX-4195.

Feel free to reopen if it is still reproducible in latest versions of Zabbix.
