Instead of checking the memory usage of your application's runtime (aka the Docker container that is running your application) you should log into your GAE instance (via ssh) <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/debugging-an-instance> and check the memory usage of the actual running processes.
You may be running an older Docker image that was affected by a Fluentd Stackdriver logging memory leak which was fixed by the stackdriver team <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/fluent-plugin-google-cloud/pull/203> and updated in the latest GAE flex images <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/custom-runtimes/build#configuring_the_dockerfile>. If you find that it is the stackdriver fluentd process that is consuming the memory and redeploying does not resolve the issue, it is recommended to report your findings on the open Public Issue Tracker report <https://issuetracker.google.com/72477424>(or open a new report <https://cloud.google.com/support/docs/issue-trackers>if it is a different process as this may be a different memory leak). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
