getHeapSpaceStatistics

Heap space usage statistics for Node.js version 4.

Like require('v8').getHeapSpaceStatistics() in newer versions of Node - it returns statistics about the V8 heap spaces, i.e. the segments which make up the V8 heap.

The value returned is an array of objects containing the following properties:

• space_name: string
• space_size: number
• space_used_size: number
• space_available_size: number
• physical_space_size: number

Install

npm install v8-heap-space-statistics

Sample usage

var getHeapSpaceStatistics = require('v8-heap-space-statistics');
console.log(getHeapSpaceStatistics());

Sample output
