Profile SharePoint 2010 executable running with IIS 6

[snabi]

Hello
we have an add on for Sharpoint 2010 which syncs file to cloud based storage. There is an executable which i believe has memory leaks and i wish to get to the bottom of it.

I tried
- to launch MP(memory profiler) with .NET executable which doesn't work since MP is trying to launch a new instance of that same executable which is already running ( initiation that executable using MP isn't an option)
- to launch MP using SharePoint web application(IIs) option which works using target sharepoint URL however memory snapshot of that specific executable isn't possible...

I was able to profile SharePoint 2010 Farm running with IIS 6

Steps i have followed::

- Installed ANTS memory profiler on SharePoint 2010 Farm App server
- Launched memory profiler with application type "windows service"
- Selected "target port/windows service" used by SharePoint 2010

Notes:

- Take one snapshot before doing any activity in SP 2010 ( This stage won't engage any child process "will be run" by SP 2010)
- Do whatever you need to do to see activities across SP 2010 farm and take more snap shots
- Redgate recognizes child process(s) triggered in between baseline and other snapshots and lists them under process drop down in
- Select your target process and happy profiling
