Memory leaks in a plugin can be detected using e.g. an MRTG graph
related to memory - you can use memory dump information. Enable
``mem dump`` in :file:`records.config` as follows:

::

      CONFIG proxy.config.dump_mem_info_frequency INT <value>

This causes Traffic Server to dump memory information to ``traffic.out``
at ``<value>`` (intervals are in seconds). A zero value means that it is
disabled.
