Debugging memory leaks in containerized applications involves several steps to identify and resolve the issues effectively:
Use tools like Docker stats, Prometheus, and Grafana to monitor memory usage and identify patterns or anomalies indicating potential leaks.
Check application logs for warnings or errors related to memory usage. Tools like ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) can help in aggregating and analyzing log data.
Leverage profiling tools such as Valgrind, Heapster, or the built-in profilers in your development environment to analyze memory allocation and identify leaks.
Set up appropriate container restart policies to mitigate the impact of memory leaks. While this doesn't solve the leak, it helps maintain application availability.
