Splunk universal forwarder: memory leak

Hello Splunk Community

I am currenlty testing Splunk universal forwarder to replace Logstash which use a lot a memory.
I installed the latest UF 9.2.0.1 (and tried several other version: 9.1.1, 8.2.9) and everything is working fine, except that my container where splunk uf is running seems to memory leak:

Even when I do not add any configuration to splunk uf  the memory of the container is increasing.
my docker image uses a FROM image that I use in many other other container without any leak so I have no doubt splunk uf is at fault here

So I wonder if anyone using splunk uf is experiencing the same issue ?
or if there is an ongoing ticket tracking this memory leak?
The memory leak is not huge but my container is supposed to run 24/7 so I cannot afford any leak.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi
you should create a Splunk support case for this.
