Any plan for memory profiling?

[Starls-bot]

I saw the memory usage in the Parca project introduction, but never seen related functions or configuration in the project or demo.
So is there any plan for memory usage onborading?

Hi @Starls-bot, you can set up memory profiling (and other types of profiling) via the parca config. See

parca/parca.yaml

Lines 25 to 30 in b7a5b90

	# profiling_config:
	# pprof_config:
	# memory:
	# keep_sample_type:
	# - type: inuse_space
	# unit: bytes

.

This will set up profile scraping. How you serve these profiles is language-dependent. For go, you can easily set up an http server: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http/pprof

Hi, @asubiotto thanks for reply ,but what I’m more eager to know is whether the parca-agent has any plans to support memory profiling for multiple languages, such as Java.

There are no immediate plans for the agent to support memory profiling but we are aware of the desire!
