[Pulp-list] Dozer: Python tool to look at memory objects allocated in realtime for a mod_wsgi app

[John Matthews]

"Dozer/Dowser" is a tool to look at memory objects allocated in realtime for a mod_wsgi app by visiting a web page.

Dowser tracks the number of objects of a certain type that have been created/kept.  It shows a running tally of Min/Current/Max.
(Actual memory consumption size would be awesome, yet I don't think dowser supports that.)

Green "sparklines" are generated for each object type to show a crude history of number of allocations.
It also allows you to drill down into a type and see more information of where the allocation came from.

Dowser is the original project written for CherryPy

Dozer is the port of Dowser to mod_wsgi
