process_memory_usage
which will contain the command used to start the process and search for the appropriate node process.

The dashboard can only help you know the current memory usage. They will not tell you the reason for the memory leak. As I mentioned earlier, if you are already using the host-metrics package, you do not need to run the “infra agent” to collect system or process memory usage. There will be a metric named
process_memory_usage
which can be used to track the memory consumption of a particular kind of process.
