memplot

A small utility written in golang to quickly plot memory usage of processes. memplot constantly samples memory usage of a process, for a given amount of time and then outputs an image file. Painless and straightforward. Supported image extensions are: .eps, .jpg, .jpeg, .pdf, .png, .svg, .tex, .tif and .tiff

Installation

Binaries for Linux and MacOS are available in the releases page

go get -u -v github.com/0x0f0f0f/memplot/cmd
