Python3 service is using the most of the ram I think. This does not mean that the constantly growing RAM is from it…

Hi guys,

I saw this thread, and after some investigation with another user we found that the Raspberry Pi agent RAM fixes that I thought were released on April 4, did not actually make it into that release. They are the ones mentioned in these release notes: Release Notes April 4, 2017

We’re planning another push for early next week (Monday, assuming no delays) where we’ll be sure that they are included this time. So hang tight – there will be RaspPi RAM usage improvements coming very soon! :slight_smile:
