Description

Ever since maintenance last week it seems there is now a memory leak in the HWP PMX agent. During maintenance we updated from v0.5.2 to v0.5.2-30-ga569783-dev. This still needs investigation.

Here's a plot of docker memory usage in percent for daq-satp2-ocs-hwp-pmx-1:

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the memory growth in the daq-satp2-ocs-hwp-pmx-1 Docker container and compare behavior between v0.5.2 and v0.5.2-30-ga569783-dev; done means identifying the regression and confirming memory remains stable after the fix.
