After upgrading to 6.5.0, why are my real time dashboards showing a "chrome has run out of memory" browser message?

[johnpof]

I have 5-6 dashboards running on decently spec'd mini-PCs. They all have 4-5 real time searches running on them which is a requirement because they are for Operations to spot issues and thus have to be live.

These all worked great until the 6.5 upgrade. Now, every time I arrive at work, the dashboards show a "chrome has run out of memory" browser message.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Are you seeing this issue with other versions? Recently the similar issue has been fixed. Release versions are 6.4.5+ and 6.5.2+
If you are still seeing the issue please contact Splunk Support with the steps repro. Thank you.

Apparently there is a memory leak with real time searches in firefox/chrome after 6.2. I "fixed" this by changing my graphs to non real time and making my panels refresh every 10s. Not ideal for my environment but I have no alternative.
