 * Hi team,
 * I get a few errors whereby WSAL is OOMing, with errors like:
 * `Allowed memory size of bytes exhausted in /wp-content/plugins/wp-security-audit-
   log/classes/Sensors/Database.php on line 85'`
 *  I have the max process memory on 400mb and it’s still exceeding this.
 * Seems to happen whenever WP Lister is trying to update an eBay listing.
 * Any guidance appreciated.
 * Thanks,
 * Jason

 * Thank you for using our plugin [@galapogos01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/galapogos01/)
 * I am sorry to read about your issue. This is not common at all, especially when
   you have so much memory. Can you please answer the below questions to help us
   better understand the issue?
    1. What version of WordPress, PHP and the plugin are you running?
    2. Has this been happening since you’ve been using the plugin, or it only started
       happening lately?
    3. Are the website and the plugin still functioning as they should, or are you 
       noticing broken functionality?
    4. Are these sporadic errors, or are they still happening?
    5. Do you know how to reproduce this error? I.e. is there something that you can
       do on the website that leads to this error?
 * The more information you can share with us the better we can understand the context
   of this problem.
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

    1. 6.0.3, 7.4, 4.4.3.2
    2. It has been happening for a while.
    3. It is breaking listing processes as they are killed due to OOM.
    4. They occur randomly but are quite annoying.
    5. Not specifically, but as mentioned updating eBay listings with WP Lister seems
       to cause WSAL to use exorbitant amounts of memory. This plugin deals with large
       XML payloads due to the eBay integration.
       Cheers, Jason

 * Thank you for sharing all the details Jason.
 * This is the plugin that you are referring to, right? [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-lister-for-ebay/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-lister-for-ebay/)
 * Can you please:
    1. Enable WordPress debug
    2. Reproduce the problem
    3. Send us the debug log over email at [support@wpwhitesecurity.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wsal-memory-usage/support@wpwhitesecurity.com?output_format=md)
       and refer to this ticket in the email? Please do not share the debug log on 
       these forums.
 * Also, can you please upgrade to the latest version of the plugin? Most probably
   this won’t solve the problem, but it always helps to run the latest version of
   the plugin.
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.
