Memory Leaks

Memory leaks in a plugin can be detected using e.g. an MRTG graph related to memory - you can use memory dump information. Enable mem dump in records.yaml as follows:

ts:
  dump_mem_info_frequency: value

This causes Traffic Server to dump memory information to traffic.out at <value> (intervals are in seconds). A zero value means that it is disabled.

ts:
  res_track_memory: value

When enabled makes Traffic Server track memory usage (allocations and releases). This information is dumped to traffic.out when the user sends a SIGUSR1 signal or periodically when proxy.config.dump_mem_info_frequency is enabled.

Value	Description
0	Memory tracking Disabled
1	Tracks IO Buffer Memory allocations and releases
2	Tracks IO Buffer Memory and OpenSSL Memory allocations and releases
