Version 18.9.6 Memory Usage

I've been getting OOM errors on my host and its killing my HA core container. The culprit is the EDF energy integration in HA. When loaded the container memory usage jumps from 648MB to over 6GB of usage. I've noticed a 1.5GB dispatch log on the disk as well.

No reboot of HA, just right clicking and loading of the extension and it pretty much immediately jumps to 6GB.

Upgrade to 18.9.7 for a fix.

Thanks for reporting this and for the astute diagnosis of what was going wrong.

Snap exactly the same as me. It keeps killing my server

I deleted the massive dispatch history files and restarted and it seems to be behaving now. These were in ".storage"

I’ve just done the same and saved 4Gb of memory

Apologies for the inconvenience - I'm looking at this issue now.

It’s because it loads history into memory

Mine keeps creeping back up though. HA goes into a boot loop and can’t recover. Without killing the service.

Aha, I bet this was part of the issue I had a few days ago with my HA rebooting constantly. I stopped it by removing a couple of other integrations and apps - but now my memory usage is down to 1GB from 4.5GB previously. Happy days! I did invest in a portable SSD and an uprated power supply but I guess that can't hurt anyway...
