Why is the server slowing using more and more memory as a baseline?

Question

I've been noticing that our server's memory baseline increases a little each day until it can no longer run any flows due to being out of memory. I usually have to go in and do a reset on our server about ever 2 weeks. does anyone know why this is happening or how to flush out the memory without doing a restart?

We're on v2022.3 and running into the same behavior.  We generally don't go much more than a month without a service bounce for whatever reason but after a user reported a memory error I noticed a similar pattern.  The chart I attached has 4 points where available memory shoots back up & we confirmed each one was when we restarted the service for some reason.

I think we could work around it with a scheduled monthly bounce but something is going on where memory isn't being properly released.

Hi @Blewis21 ,

Can you let me know what version of Alteryx server you have now? We are on 2022.1 and can only see a limited range of CPU and memory details. We want to know from which version the historical CPU and memory information is available.

In our current scenario, we restarted our servers on a weekly basis. This is the recommendation we previously received from Alteryx.
