MONITOR MEMORY USAGE WITH OCAML LANGUAGE

Monitor memory usage in your OCaml application

In the realm of Ocaml applications, a recurring challenge we encounter relates to memory leaks and overall memory utilization. This issue assumes particular significance when developing applications destined for deployment in the cloud, whether as serverless functions, containers, or virtual machines. In such scenarios, excessive memory consumption can disrupt application performance, potentially leading to crashes and increased operational costs.

To mitigate these concerns, it is imperative to monitor the memory usage of our Ocaml applications and implement a robust tracking system with predefined thresholds. This proactive approach ensures ongoing performance awareness. For instance, if memory usage exceeds a predetermined threshold, such as 80 percent, immediate corrective actions can be taken to preempt more significant issues.

To address this, we introduce Palzin Track, a potent event tracking tool seamlessly compatible with Ocaml. With Palzin Track, you gain the capability to monitor various application events in real-time, including real-time tracking of memory usage. Moreover, you can configure notification rules to promptly alert your team and yourself when memory usage surpasses specified thresholds via push notifications. This vigilance ensures that you maintain a constant pulse on your application's performance, facilitating swift responses when necessary.

OCaml code snippets

You can use the following code snippets to track memory usage in your OCaml application. Please don't forget to replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN with your API token and update the project and channel names.

Using OCaml with Cohttp

open Lwt  


open Cohttp  


open Cohttp_lwt_unix  


let postData = ref "{\"project\":\"my-project\",\"channel\":\"status\",\"event\":\"High Memory Usage\",\"description\":\"Memory usage has exceeded the threshold.\",\"icon\":\"🚨\",\"notify\":true}";;  


let reqBody =   


 let uri = Uri.of_string "https://api.palzin.live/v1/log" in  


 let headers = Header.init ()  


 |> fun h -> Header.add h "Content-Type" "application/json"  


 |> fun h -> Header.add h "Authorization" "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"  


 in  


 let body = Cohttp_lwt.Body.of_string !postData in  


 Client.call ~headers ~body `POST uri >>= fun (_resp, body) ->  


 body |> Cohttp_lwt.Body.to_string >|= fun body -> body  


let () =  


 let respBody = Lwt_main.run reqBody in  


 print_endline (respBody)
