SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 66914: The SAS® Viya® Launcher Server contains a memory leak and returns "Process reaper failed to delete process..." in the launcher service log
 |  |  |  |  |
The launcher process continues to consume memory on the operating system each day. To release the memory, you must restart the sas-viya-runlauncher-default service. But shortly after you do this, the memory consumption continues to increase again.
In the launcher service log located in /opt/sas/viya/config/var/log/launcher/default (Windows location: C:\\ProgramData\SAS\Viya\var\log\launcher\default), the following error messages occur repeatedly:
2020-09-24 14:14:32.751 WARN 11316 --- [pool-6-thread-1] com.sas.launcher.process.ProcessReaper : service [ecdcdb0cea24b2b2] Process reaper failed to delete process with ID "458ca9c6-5a88-4978-8dff-9b191ad71307":org.springframework.web.client.HttpServerErrorException$InternalServerError: 500
