"""Debugging plugin to trace memory leaks within the bcfg2-server process.

By default the remote debugger is started when this plugin is enabled.
The debugger can be shutoff in a running process using "bcfg2-admin
xcmd Guppy.Disable" and reenabled using "bcfg2-admin xcmd
Guppy.Enable".

To attach the console run:

python -c "from guppy import hpy;hpy().monitor()"

For example:

# python -c "from guppy import hpy;hpy().monitor()"
<Monitor>
*** Connection 1 opened ***
<Monitor> lc
