An independent Linux utility inspired by GDIView, it samples /proc//status, /proc//statm, /proc//fd, and /proc//maps across time to compare live process resource usage against a captured baseline and spot sustained memory, handle, memory-mapping, or thread growth. Key Features: * Baseline vs Live Delta Matrix: Tracks VmRSS, RssAnon, VmSize, open file descriptor count, virtual memory mapping (VMA) count, and thread count per PID, computing net +KB / +FD deltas and linear growth slopes across captured snapshots. * Multi-PID Growth Trajectory Charts: Plots real-time multi-process VmRSS and open file descriptor curves across recorded samples in both absolute and baseline-delta views alongside per-snapshot tabular history. * Kernel Handle & VMA Breakdown: Classifies open file descriptors for any accessible process into Regular Files, Sockets, Pipes, Anonymous Inodes (epoll, eventfd, timerfd, inotify), Shared Memory / Memfd / DRM nodes, and Character Devices, paired with a virtual memory area (heap, stack, shared libraries, anonymous mappings) inspector. * Structured Telemetry Export: Exports process delta rankings and time-series snapshot logs to CSV and JSON files.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/process-leak-watcher/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command: ``` sudo yum install epel-release ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Process Resource Growth Watcher To install Process Resource Growth Watcher, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install process-leak-watcher ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
