Monitor Memory Usage in Your Go Application

Memory management is crucial for the efficient operation of any Go application. Monitoring memory usage allows you to detect potential memory leaks, optimize resource utilization, and ensure the stability and performance of your application.

Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless monitoring for memory usage in your Go application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly track memory consumption in real-time and receive timely alerts when memory usage exceeds predefined thresholds.

Connecting Saashound to Your Go Application

To begin monitoring memory usage in your Go application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign up for a free Saashound account to start tracking your application’s events.
2. Create your first project from the user-friendly dashboard.
3. Access the settings and securely copy your unique API token.

Go Integration

Integrating Saashound into your Go application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking memory usage. Remember to replace API_TOKEN with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.

package main

import (
  "bytes"
  "encoding/json"
  "fmt"
  "net/http"
)

func logEvent() {
  apiURL := "https://api.saashound.co/log-event"
  payload := map[string]interface{}{
    "project":     "my-project",
    "channel":     "system-logs",
    "event":       "High Memory Usage",
    "description": "High memory usage detected.",
    "icon":        "🧠",
    "notify":      true
  }

  payloadBytes, err := json.Marshal(payload)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error marshaling payload:", err)
    return
  }

  req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", apiURL, bytes.NewReader(payloadBytes))
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error creating request:", err)
    return
  }

  req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
  req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer API_TOKEN")

  client := http.DefaultClient
  resp, err := client.Do(req)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error sending request:", err)
    return
  }
  defer resp.Body.Close()

  if resp.StatusCode >= 200 && resp.StatusCode < 300 {
    fmt.Println("Log event sent successfully!")
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Failed to send log event. Response code:", resp.StatusCode)
  }
}

func main() {
  logEvent()
}
