Topic: Any recent changes that could cause increased memory consumption?
Hi,
We have an old server running php 5.4 (I know!). After a recent update apache has suddenly been using a lot more memory and we can't figure out why. This coincides with a puppet run (these are regular) which amongst other things has upgraded/installed packages, and I'm wondering about the possibility/probabily of any of the recent backports contributing to this?
The relevant yum log is:

Feb 24 13:05:34 Installed: puppet-3.8.6-1.el6.noarch
After this, suddenly apache is using much more memory and we're having to reboot server every 2 days!
I've since removed pecl zip (as that server doesn't need it) and datadog (since we don't need it necessarily) just on the offchange it would help, but of course it doesn't.
Any ideas?
