Cache Sweeper

Hello, I wanted to know why, even with these cache sweepers, my ram usage continues to increase as the bot's uptime increases. (5 process with 10 shards of ~1000 guilds and 59 shards in total, 58.7k guilds)

function filter() {
    return false;
}

const client = new Discord.Client({
    shards: sharding.getInfo().SHARD_LIST, // An array of shards that will get spawned
    shardCount: sharding.getInfo().TOTAL_SHARDS, // Total number of shards
    intents: ["Guilds", "GuildVoiceStates", "GuildMessages"],
    partials: [Discord.Partials.Channel, Discord.Partials.Message],
    sweepers: {
        ...Discord.Options.DefaultSweeperSettings,
        messages: { interval: 3600, lifetime: 1800 }, // 30 minutes
        bans: { interval: 3600, filter: () => filter },
        threads: { interval: 3600, lifetime: 1800 }, // 30 minutes
        threadMembers: { interval: 3600, filter: () => filter },
        invites: { interval: 3600, lifetime: 1800 }, // 30 minutes
        presences: { interval: 3600, filter: () => filter },
        reactions: { interval: 3600, filter: () => filter },
        stickers: { interval: 3600, filter: () => filter },
        users: { interval: 3600, filter: () => filter }
    }
});

function filter() {
    return false;
}

const client = new Discord.Client({
    shards: sharding.getInfo().SHARD_LIST, // An array of shards that will get spawned
    shardCount: sharding.getInfo().TOTAL_SHARDS, // Total number of shards
    intents: ["Guilds", "GuildVoiceStates", "GuildMessages"],

discord.js@14.13.0 v17.9.0 Or he should return true to be removed from the cache ?

Digital•9mo ago

it increases because you dont have lifetime for presences, reactions, and so on.. those pile up quickly if you have their intents why are you returing false on filter? if you dont want to store them, just modify the makeCache object

Sayrix•9mo ago

I want to store them but only for 1 hour

Digital•9mo ago

you cant do that since there is no that lifetime option

Sayrix•9mo ago

??? the lifetime option is only for invites messages and threads

Digital•9mo ago

Sayrix•9mo ago

Are you blind ?

Sayrix•9mo ago

Digital•9mo ago

you dont get me, your usage goes up because of those specific caches (users, presences especially, ....), and since there is no option to put lifetime on it, you cant prevent ram from increasing if you dont fully disable those caches

Sayrix•9mo ago

But if i clear it every hour it shouldn't increase no ?

Digital•9mo ago

you can only clear it manually then it shouldnt increase

Sayrix•9mo ago

Even with the sweeper ?

Digital•9mo ago

i literally just said that you cant with sweeper because half of them dont support lifetime

Sayrix•9mo ago

But on the doc i can use all of them I will try it this day, I’ll let you know and check the ram usage after some days I tried this:

function users(a) {
    if (a.id === client.user.id) return false;
    console.log("Clearing user", a.id, "from cache");
    return true;
}

// eslint-disable-next-line no-unused-vars

But i have this error:

Uncaught exception: TypeError [SweepFilterReturn]: The return value of the sweepFilter function was not false or a Function

🌺🇫🇷 Shigu :3 🌺•9mo ago

On which line?

Sayrix•9mo ago

at Timeout._onTimeout (C:\Users\Sayrixx\Desktop\ChilledBot\node_modules\discord.js\src\util\Sweepers.js:461:48) So all sweepers where i use the function filter

Pulse•9mo ago

i think that advice was wrong, filter is supposed to be a function that returns a function (or null)

export interface SweepOptions<K, V> {
  interval: number;
  filter: GlobalSweepFilter<K, V>;
}

export interface SweepOptions<K, V> {
  interval: number;
  filter: GlobalSweepFilter<K, V>;
}

export type GlobalSweepFilter<K, V> = () => ((value: V, key: K, collection: Collection<K, V>) => boolean) | null; from https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/discord.js/14.13.0/typedef/SweepOptions

filter: The function used to determine the function passed to the sweep method

as for the original question, you probably wanted to return true in your filter

Sayrix•9mo ago

ok. I will try to return true

Pulse•9mo ago

from https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/collection/1.5.3/Collection:Class#sweep

Removes items that satisfy the provided filter function.

(i will just change the interval)

@sayrix how did it go? Did true work better?

btw for my sharding manager i use "discord-hybrid-sharding" @lemorrow When i look the graph thats something like ~100MiB every 3 hours

LeMorrow•9mo ago

Right, so no big improvement with that I'll let you know if I can find any improvements with my experiments

mahakadema•9mo ago

Something that would definitely help in diagnosing where this RAM usage originates from (because i see nothing here indicating that caches are what drive up this ram usage) would be to diagnose whether the sweepers run as expected. this event listener:

client.on(Events.CacheSweep, (msg) => console.log("SWEEPER RUN", msg))

client.on(Events.CacheSweep, (msg) => console.log("SWEEPER RUN", msg))

would allow you to diagnose whether the numbers approximately match up. If they do, ur RAM leakage is likely caused by other stuff

Sayrix•9mo ago

If you also have a big bot like mine idk if you also use discord-hybrid-sharding for your sharding manager because maybe that it's caused by my sharding manager 🤷‍♂️ I will try to add this code in production to see I think i will install a profiler to see what's wrong

BradyDaLlama .*˖•7mo ago

did you ever figure this out? I have a pretty similar issue but it's a smaller bot. I have pretty aggressive makeCache settings (i think) and some sweepers but the ram still seems to go up and then crash/ i reset it before it does

BradyDaLlama .*˖•7mo ago

the top command shows super low memory usage, but the free -g/-m shows a higher amount is being used, closer to what my VPS monitoring reports.
