Memory Profiling for Sidecar

Quick Triage

Symptom Tool Action
High RSS / memory growth vmmap, pprof heap Check system memory, then heap profile
Too many open files lsof Check FD count and breakdown
High CPU pprof cpu, ps Capture CPU profile
Goroutine leak pprof goroutines Check goroutine count and stacks
Plugin unresponsive lsof + goroutines Check SQLite locks, blocked goroutines 
Triage flow: Is RSS high? -> Check FD count -> Check vmmap -> Check heap profile

System-Level Profiling (No pprof Required)

Find the Process

pgrep -f sidecar
ps aux | grep sidecar
