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 Hi,
