This modular training (four days) is lectured by Gerlof Langeveld,
the creator/maintainer of atop, atopsar and the kernel module netatop.
Scripts
The tar archive
atopscripts (version 1.1) contains scripts
to be used to process output of atop/atopsar:
- findleak
Script that displays an overview of the virtual memory growth per process
during the last 14 days (the daily memory size of processes at 5:00 PM is taken).
Processes that were only present for 1 day and processes that did not grow
are ignored. The list shows per process the PID and process name,
how many days the process has lived (max. 14 days), the total growth of
the virtual memory consumption during that number of days, and the growth
per day (in MiB).
Notice that not every process that grows is a process suffering from a memory leak!
Mainly processes that have a daily growth are suspects.
Version 1.1 contains some bugfixes (explicit use of bash and proper use of awk sub()).
