Tools for checking if algod has memory leaks.

Run a local private network of three nodes and two pingpongs.

Periodically sample pprof memory profiles.

Watch memory usage from ps and write to a CSV file for each algod.

To start:

bash test/heapwatch/start.sh /tmp/todaysTest

To stop:

bash test/heapwatch/stop.sh /tmp/todaysTest

Results:

Snapshot usage plots and inter-snapshot delta plots.

ls /tmp/todaysTest/heaps/*.svg

The raw files for analysis with go tool pprof

ls /tmp/todaysTest/heaps/*.heap

CSV files of memory usage according to ps:

ls /tmp/todaysTest/heaps/*.csv
