Long running soaking test for memory leaks

Open sethAmazon opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

We have no long running tests that can check for memory leaks.

I was think we just have a job that deploys the binary onto permanent ec2 instances. Add an alarm on the instance memory that will trigger if we are above a target.

Golang should not have memory leaks due to how it does gc. Though there could be a cache that is not properly cleared by collector code causing an issue.

We used to use cwagent on the same instance to collect memory consumption of otcollector process as part of soaking test and perf test, not sure if this was removed afterwards?
