Excellent, that pretty much looks like how I patched it internally too. I'll be able to tell by the end of the week if it fixed our issue; I'll post back here with my findings. -- Sam Clippinger From: Andrew Ruthven <andrew@etc.gen.nz> Date: Monday, January 5, 2026 at 2:25 PM To: openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org <openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org> Subject: Re: [openstacksdk][keystoneauth1][nova] Memory leak in nova-scheduler, possibly all services?

That function calls _report_stats()[1] for every request which calls three other functions for statsd, prometheus and influxdb. The prometheus function records the number of requests and response times in a dict using the full URL of the request.[2] I pointed your message out to my colleagues yesterday, one of them, Callum Dickinson has dug into it.
