High memory consumption

[StepanKuksenko]

Eventrouter is constantly increasing the amount of memory consumed.
In one of our cluster after one month eventrouter uses near 8Gb of memory.

It is the output of top command in eventrouter pod (containter)

  PID  PPID USER     STAT   VSZ %VSZ CPU %CPU COMMAND
    6     1 nobody   S    7944m  23%   1   0% /eventrouter -v 3 -logtostderr
   32     0 nobody   S     1524   0%   6   0% sh
   43    32 nobody   R     1520   0%   0   0% top
    1     0 nobody   S     1516   0%   5   0% /bin/sh -c /eventrouter -v 3 -logtostderr

I will configure limits. But what will happen if eventrouter reaches the memory limit? Will it work correctly. And why does it use so much memory?

So something doesn't seem right.

still have this problem in all our clusters in GKE.
When i limit memory usage for eventrouter pod memory usage increases during a time, when memory rests to limit pod restarts with "OOMKilled" reason.
There are 247 restarts during seven days.

Same problem here...

involved_object_name is a label with high cardinality

kubernetesWarningEventCounterVec = prometheus.NewCounterVec(prometheus.CounterOpts{
	Name: "heptio_eventrouter_warnings_total",
	Help: "Total number of warning events in the kubernetes cluster",
}, []string{
	"involved_object_kind",
	"involved_object_name",
	"involved_object_namespace",
	"reason",
	"source",
})
