I’m experiencing a memory leak on a production mysql server (that I never managed to reproduce in the lab), and tried tcmalloc. Unfortunately my tests failed because the memory consumption of mysql+tcmalloc is growing really too fast (compared to the memory leak only) and finally the box OOM’ed.
The thing is that I certainly don’t need to monitor the whole server but maybe only some sessions or a single thread.
Will your UDF be helpful in my case?
Or do you have any pointers/ideas to find memory leak on a running production server?
Thanks,
Brice
