Any advice on how to narrow down a vmtoolsd memory leak?
I have been tracking VMware tools usage on a machine for the last month. vmtoolsd has grown to consume 22% of system memory over that time (pretty linearly). That's around 100 megs.
I am using the VMware supplied RPMs instead of the ESXi based tar installer.
This is the vmware-tools-* 8.6.0 RPMs. We are in the process of updating to the 9.0.0 RPMs but as it takes a fairly long time to reproduce I was wondering if there was some logging or any settings we could use to debug memory usage.
