Hi I am having trouble with a memory leak on a prod sql server. Over the period of a few weeks, the memory creeps up until the server becomes unresponsive and applications are unable to connect to the databases and we have to reboot the server. I dont beleive sql is necessarily the cause as I have capped the memory and the sql perfom counters look fine. But I cannot tell what is using the memory
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Virtual
64-bit
2 vcpu 20GB Ram
SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM
Enterprise Edition
Max Memory 12288 (12GB)
Lock Pages in memory is switched on
Only SQL Server service and reporting services are running however there are a couple of small scheduled tasks that run executables, plus ingres drivers on this server. Also CLR is enabled in sql server.
Also this has symmantec as the antivirus and I notice that after a reboot of a server, the cpu for smc.exe and also for system process creeps up over time until the server needs a reboot (2-3 weeks) Not sure if this is a cause or a symptom though.
We have tried shutting down everything on the server except core OS services however even with all that shut down including sql, the server still holds a heap of memory as in use. Any ideas where I can find what's using the memory? Resource monitor does not indicate where the memory is in use
I know some of you will say to patch the OS and sql and yes that is an option we are exploring but it is a massive task and other similar servers are at the same level and are doing ok.
I think I have actually given SQL Server more memory than it needs as the page life expectancy and buffer cache hit ration look ridiculously healthy. Below is dbcc memorystatus output. I think the SQL Server is ok and not involved in the memory leak

If you think you're experiencing a memory leak you can check the "\Process(process_name)\Private Bytes" Perf counter - which rises steadily during a memory leak

Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked the private bytes in the past and there is nothing that is holding a large amount. The total does not get anywhere near to the amount of ram on the server even when adding in the amount of lock memory sql server has.
Also during a reboot of this server, I have tried first shutting down all the non core services. I can see sql drop down its lock memory once that service is shutdown. I then shutdown all non essential services however the server still indicates that 4-5GB of memory is in use but nothing in private bytes indicate that. Its like the memory does not get released by the system somehow. |

are you getting any other messages , such as Low virtual memory etc? how long does it take for the problem to appear , after you've rebooted?

Given the server 20GB ram. Restricted sql to 12GB. The memory takes about 3 weeks to consume the entire 20GB and at that time, people cannot log in to the server, sql connections cant be made. I have left my account logged in and I try to launch things liek notepad.exe and get not enough resources error message
I have put perfmon counters on. The sql memory looks fine and probably has more assigned than it needs. The avail memory counter you can see it steadily decrease over the 3 weeks. The cpu for system and smc.exe steadily rise over the 3 weeks. Not sure if that is just a symptom though. Nothing in the private bytes indicates its holding the memory. |

Are you logging private bytes or Working Set for all processes? You should see a steady increase in these counters for the process that is leaking memory.
