Maybe memory leak is the wrong term, but we are now monitoring the server’s free memory and restarting hciss when memory gets low, about every 3-4 weeks I think.

I’ve seen the host sever use over 5GB over the course of a month, restarting the host server drops memory usage to under 1GB. Since we’ve been doing weekly host server restarts, we have not had any site crashing issues.

Sometimes that has helped. Sometimes I did a whole site db rebuild and there was no change. Sometimes I’d restart everything and have no immediate change but after 5min the gui starts responding correctly. The randomness of the issue has made troubleshooting almost impossible.
