US Patent 9471237 Memory consumption tracking

Systems and methods are provided for monitoring memory consumption in computing devices. Memory monitoring can be performed by tracking multiple parameters on both a regular schedule and in response to the detection of certain events. These memory parameters can include the total amount of free memory in the system, the memory usage associated with certain processes, and stack traces of current threads. These memory parameters can be stored locally in a memory log on the device's secondary storage and then transmitted to a remote test system for detailed analysis along with the memory logs from other devices.
