node-heapdump

Make a dump of the V8 heap for later inspection.

Install

npm install heapdump

Build

node-gyp configure build

Usage

Load the add-on in your application:

require('heapdump');

The module does not export any properties. Now send the node process a SIGUSR2 signal:

$ kill -USR2 <pid>

A heapdump-xxxx.xxxx.heapsnapshot is written to the application's current directory.

Open Google Chrome and press F12 to open the developer toolbar. Go to the Profiles tab, right-click in the tab pane and select Load profile.... Select the dump file and click Open. You can now inspect the heap snapshot at your leisure.
