daemon memory leak

On this morning we get some Expired nodes warning. According to our records, 80 Smartnodes got this status.

Once we logged into the servers we detected a single daemon that ate 30G of RAM and "pushed" other daemons for the SWAP memory. Even in NvME devices (new generation SSDs) the SWAP is not 10% effective as RAM, that lead to high demand of CPU power which lead some daemons that did not get into the CPU to the expired status.

Restarting all the affected daemons fixed the issue, but it cost some time and during this process, 22 Smartnodes got the New Start Required Status. Since it was caused by a 3rd party software, we take no responsability on this event,  there is no action or strategy that could be deployd by our estimated daemon cost to prevent this. Many solutions existe, but it would increase the service cost.

If you own any of the listed ips bellow, open your wallet, let it sync, and 15' after the sync is done, check if your node is down, select it and click Start Alias.
