Looking for some advice from any Pix experts out there. I have a pair of Pix 515e that are driving me nuts. At random intervals the memory usage will spike and keep climbing until it completely runs out of memory (128MB total) and starts throwing "memory allocation errors". I originally noticed this when our DNS server went crazy because BIND wasn't running and flooded us with ICMP requests. Cisco confirmed that this could cause a crash but this morning we had the same thing happen again only without any evidence of the DNS server problems.
Specs:
Cisco Pix 515e UR
P2 433Mhz
128MB RAM
IOS 7.2.2
ASDM 5.2.2
Normal Usage:
CPU usage 10-20%
Memory usage 100MB-110MB (128MB max).
I also would like to know if anyone has any methods for monitoring and sending an alert when the memory reaches a certain threshold such as 120MB/128MB. We have WhatsUp Gold v11 and so far I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to work with that. I dump some syslog data to our syslog server running Kiwi that can send e-mails too.
Thanks!
