Hello.
I agree that the green lines on the right side indicate a memory leak.

However the only chart you have provided me as potentially reproducible on my side does *not* show it. This is the middle chart in your original post. Can you make it grown in an unbounded way by increasing the number of signals, the rate, or both?

Regards

Hello

This is a graph of the performance of the entire application (30 days).
It compares two instances:
the first instance connects to an OPCDA server
the second instance to an OPCUA server

After updating the library, you can see the change:


We have updated to 5.71.401 with no improvements.

We have updated on another OPCUA server and everything works correctly.

Hello.

I do not dispute the fact that there might be a memory leak in QuickOPC, but what you are observing is inconclusive. .NET is free to manage the memory in any way its seems fit. Only continuing growth that eventually consumes all memory is a proof of a memory leak.

Let the application run for at least 72 hours, and show the graphs then.

Best regards

OPCDA Memory Leak was created by spicerno
Hi,
We have a .NET Framework application that was recently migrated to .NET6.
We ran into a memory leak problem using OPCDA.
The .NET6 application with version 5.63.246 had no memory problems, they started after the package was upgraded to 5.71.334.

The application can be configured to switch between OPCDA and OPCUA, and the code is the same for both cases, except for the use of a different client.

Using OPCUA there are no problems:


While on the same machine using OPCDA there is a slight increase (about 50 signals on matrikon simulation server):


on a machine that reaches a non-simulated server and reads many more signals, the increase is greater:


We have seen that a new version (5.71.401) has been released, we are trying it out, but we will probably get the same result.

We have created a reduced application of our own, which only includes the plugin using quickOPC.
If necessary, we can provide you it.

NB. in the Framework version we had these parameters, which should not be necessary in .net6:

right?

can you help us?

Thank you
