Abstract:
1. A method for memory growth detection comprising: defining a baseline memory usage for at least one process operating in a computer system by executing a first script that captures a physical and logical memory size of the at least one process operating on the computer system at an initial time, the first script configured to invoke a second script to run indefinitely in the background of the computer system; periodically logging a memory usage during a predefined period of time via the second script, for the at least one process while the at least one process is currently running, the logged memory usage comprising the physical and the logical memory size of the at least one process operating in the computer system; comparing the logged memory usage and the baseline memory usage by comparing a memory size of the at least one process that is currently running to the baseline memory usage; and determining a trend in memory size changes of the at least one process based on the periodic logging of the memory usage during the predefined period of time.
