What happened: logging plugin consumes large amount of memory

Mem: 5498852K used, 2148392K free, 166208K shrd, 50612K buff, 938332K cached CPU: 63% usr 10% sys 0% nic 26% idle 0% io 0% irq 0% sirq Load average: 1.48 1.62 1.66 2/507 8054 PID PPID USER STAT VSZ %VSZ CPU %CPU COMMAND 3476 3459 root S 2575m 34% 1 53% /bin/splunk-logging-plugin

What you expected to happen: logging plugin should consume acceptable amount of memory

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): It happened after enabling the plugin for some time. We have several containers using this plugin to forward the logs to splunk instance.

Environment:

I think this is same/similar to the issue ADDON-21861 that I reported internally in Splunk (with some more specific steps to repro this faster), just leaving a note here so I get updates here too, left a note on the internal issue too linking to here.

The fix for this issue has been merged to the develop branch: https://github.com/splunk/docker-logging-plugin/pull/53

It was being caused by calling time.NewTicker in a fast iterating loop.
