−This module compares the memory usage reported by Lua before and after
+
−each event and reports it to the log if it exceeds the configuration
+
−setting `log_memory_threshold` (in bytes).
+
−
+
−``` lua
+
−log_memory_threshold = 20*1024

+
−Prosody runs on Lua which uses automatic memory management with garbage
+
−collection, so the numbers reported by this module are very likely to be
+
−useless for the purpose of identifying memory leaks. Large, but
+
−temporary, increases in memory usage can however highlight other kinds
+
−of performance problems and sometimes even provide hits for where to
+
−look for memory leaks.
