Summary: Add
collect_heap_pprofs.shscript for easier collection of heap profilesI've been profiling PEM memory usage often. The existing script was difficult to use when collecting profiles across an entire cluster -- the
download_heap_prof_mapped_files.shscript hard codes a file path causing each profile to overwrite the previously downloaded one.This new script orchestrates collecting the heap profiles via the
pxcli and uses a modified version of thedownload_heap_prof_mapped_files.shto collect the memory mapped files.Relevant Issues: N/A
Type of change: /kind cleanup
Test Plan: Script runs successfully on cluster with 9 nodes and pprof command printed to console works
