Problem

Describe your process for debugging a memory leak in a production environment.

Explain how you distinguish a true leak from traffic growth, cache expansion, fragmentation, or a garbage-collection issue. Cover the telemetry and OS evidence you would collect, how you capture diagnostic data without exposing Thomson Reuters customer or proprietary data, how you mitigate customer impact, and how you verify the permanent fix.
