core: Home Assistant Memory Leak

The problem

EDIT: I edited this to remove the ONVIF integration as suspicious of the problem.

There is some memory leak ~~in ONVIF, as stated here: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/42390~~ ~~It was fixed in theory in 0.117.2 but it seems at least in my case this is wrong. I was asked to open a new issue, so this is.~~

~~Several hours after removing ONVIF seems it does not fix the issue, so is clear that in my case the leak is at another place.~~

Here is a sample after installing 0.117.2 from 0.116.:

I merged the fix for Brother and tagged it for 0.117.4 - Will keep this open since there are some reports in here of an issue without the Brother integration enabled.

I’m wondering if the issue really is within HA core, or maybe in the OS or Supervisor. As far as I can tell, all users seeing this issue are using a supervised setup in one shape or form. The few users I know using docker aren’t seeing this issue (incl myself), nor did I see any venv user in this thread.

@sz0wxc and @thijsdejong when you say 0.117, did you try the latest release (currently 0.117.5)?

0.117.4. But I don’t see any change related to this in 0.117.5 vs .4 correct?

@elupus OK, should I open a separate ticket?

Yes, that’s the only difference. Thanks for help with testing.

@McGiverGim Please only replace __init__.py file.

@McGiverGim Could you do one more test for me? Save init.py file from this gist https://gist.github.com/bieniu/096bd2e50b1befb6b8c6bea6616a8ba6 to /config/custom_components/brother, turn off the printer, restart HA and watch the memory usage.

Of course, I will do it and report in one or two hours…

The profiling I added currently only profiles a 60 second window. If the leak is slow (MB over hours) it won’t help as is. If you want to run it as a custom component, it might be better to comment out lines 101 and 102 in __init__.py to get a full memory snapshot when run.

i have the same issue. dont use brother or onvif. do have ring cameras which use ffmpeg. below snapshot of addons downgrading to .116.4 to see if it makes a difference

I think it was established that it isn’t in the addons - what integrations are you running?

I am experiencing the issues as well. I have the Brother integration as well. I have deleted it for now to see if there is something there.
