So you are using the ManiaLive core only and no Mlepp?
If you have memory problems, can you be sure it is only related to ManiaLive? (It might also be a xaseco problem)
How do you realize these problems? (error messages, logs)
Maybe we should start another thread for this discussion to make it easier for other people to follow up?

In terms of the memory issue and third party plugins: I will, as said, include some memory debugging message into the next release so you can track memory usage as hoster and also as developer. It is important, as hoster, that we know the source of these troubles and, as developer, how to fix it. I am trying to implement this until mid/end of next week.

Thanks for the feedback so far :-)

Yes im not running MLepp.

Is it even a memory problem? I just dont know, maybe it is something different.
Can it be caused by Xaseco? Maybe, i have no idea where the problems comes from.

Why im posting this in Manialive?
Because the manialive process after a while starts making problems. The solution is to restart manialive. I do not restart anything else only Manialive and problems are gone. So this is the reason im starting here to ask to find out what it is.

How does problem apear?
Normaly in top command the manialive process is just "blinking" up for a second, or part of a second, then goin back to normal low cpu values. But after a while this changes, the process stays longer with a higher cpu load, the server load is growing up. Manialive starts giving error messages on server, like "Bad Api password". It ends that the manialive process is permanently at around 50% CPU load and serverload getting higher and higher. If you are only running one manialive im sure the root can live with that, but when you run more Freezones on one root it ends in Serverload around 8, this was the highest value before i stopped it, and causes bad perfomance and lags on server.

What do i need?

First thing needed is to accept that this is a real problem and needs to be solved, what ever the problem is in the end (manialive, xaseco? who knows before we start searching)

Second i would need somebody who im can send error reports maybe with serverloads and whatever else is needed.
But i would do this automatically, i would write a script for it and give for e.g. an FTP access to files.
Im already running a script to check serverload (ive done this after manialive starts making problems). So we can start checking error reports when serload is going above a named value.

Third: For now i avoid this problem with restarting manialive everyday. So there are not alot error messages.
So if we got the first two points i have to let run one server until serverload is going higher and higher.

Making a new post? Hm i would prefere to get in contact with somebody in messenger, so for not talking around things, but finding the problem.

Next week im moving all servers to new hardware, so im just busy. But after that we could start.

humm, well if you don't run nothing else than manialive, freezone and my plugin, then the manialive-->Xaseco plugin must have something that causes the excess cpu load after a while.
