[systemd-devel] Analyzing and debugging userspace services (with e. g. Valgrind)

[Paul Menzel]

Dear systemd folks,


does systemd provide an option to debug userspace services with, for
example, the instrumentation framework Valgrind [1] to find memory leaks
or analyze the memory usage in more detail?

If it does not, should such a feature be added? Would it be useful, to
just have a switch or option `Valgrind=true` or something like it? It’d
also be nice to just have a global switch `systemd.valgrind=1` and
systemd will run each service under Valgrind. Problems lie as always in
the details, like if and how suppression files should be passed.

Or should just the unit/service file be edited?


Thanks,

Paul
