Has this issue been covered in the Wiki?

  • I have read the Wiki and my issue is not covered.

Is there an existing issue reported already?

  • I have searched the existing issues, it does not exist.

What is the unexpected behavior?

On a long session without rebooting, I started and stopped docker stacks a lot of times, which creates br-* and veth* networks every time. These keep piling up in Vitals, to the point that just trying to open the list of networks or scrolling through the list causes full-system stalls:

Image

These should get cleaned up if they no longer exist.

Also, notice the 94 MB/s, which is a nonsense number, it's totaling a lot of the network adapters that no longer exist.

Steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior.

up and down a docker compose stack that binds ports to the host like 100 times, see that a ton of networks are kept in Vitals.

Relevant log output

                          Has this issue been covered in the Wiki?
                          •  I have read the Wiki and my issue is not covered.
                          Is there an existing issue reported already?
                          •  I have searched the existing issues, it does not exist.
                          What is the unexpected behavior?
                          On a long session without rebooting, I started and stopped docker stacks a lot of times, which creates br-* and veth* networks every time. These keep piling up in Vitals, to the point that just trying to open the list of networks or scrolling through the list causes full-system stalls:
                          Image
                          These should get cleaned up if they no longer exist.
                          Also, notice the 94 MB/s, which is a nonsense number, it's totaling a lot of the network adapters that no longer exist.
                          Steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior.
                          up and down a docker compose stack that binds ports to the host like 100 times, see that a ton of networks are kept in Vitals.
