Abstract
Methods and apparatus for memory leak detection using clustering and trend detection are disclosed. Performance metrics are collected from an executing process. A first statistical analysis of at least one metric is used to identify trending and non-trending workload periods for the process. A second statistical analysis on the metrics for the non-trending workload periods is used to determine clusters of metrics corresponding to stable workload levels. A third statistical analysis is performed on each of the clusters to determine whether an upward trend in memory usage occurred. If an upward trend in memory usage is detected, a notification of a potential memory leak is generated.
