Good night,
I manage some Check Point Gateways with version R80.40 which are showing high memory consumption, to identify what is consuming memory in these
equipment I use the command "for ii in /proc/*/status ; do echo ; awk '/VmSize|Name|^Pid/ {printf $2 " " $3}' $ii ; done | sort -k 3 -n -r | head -10" this
command shows me that the TP_CONF_SERVICE process always consumes around 1 GB of memory on each Gateway.
As informed in the link https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Management/New-process-in-R80-40-management/td-p/89200 this service is an autoupdater in which it was
enabled by default in R80.40 versions but when we talk about a vsx environment in which we have for example 10 contexts the memory consumption of this service only
is 10 GB.
To disable this service and the Gateways continue to function as R80.x versions prior to R80.40 we tried to enter the command
"/opt/AutoUpdater/latest/bin/autoupdatercli disable TEX_Engine" and also the autoupdatercli disable tp_conf command however after entering the cpwd_admin list command
the TP_CONF_SERVICE process remains active and the command "for ii in /proc/*/status ; do echo ; awk '/VmSize|Name|^Pid/ {printf $2 " " $3}' $ii ; done | sort -k 3 -n -r | head -10""
continues showing this process with the consumption of 1 GB of memory.
After entering the command "/opt/AutoUpdater/latest/bin/autoupdatercli show" we see the TEX_Engine and tp_conf processes as download-scheduler-active and install-scheduler-active false, false however
the memory consumption of this process continues at 1 GB of memory.
component-name: TEX_Engine
component-branch: TEX_engine_R8040_AutoUpdate
GA-Version: 0
download-period-seconds: 10800
install-period-seconds: 10860
download-scheduler-active: false
install-scheduler-active: false

download-period-seconds: 10800

I would like to know if we can disable this service so that it does not consume these memory values anymore, do you know if the command "/opt/AutoUpdater/latest/bin/autoupdatercli disable TEX_Engine"
works correctly on version R80.40.
Thank you all.
