Hi,

I was wondering if there was a Visualisation tool for the output of the command ‘memreport’? Similar to the net profiler.

Cheers

EDIT:

Adding true to the Engine\Saved\UnrealBuildTool\BuildConfiguration.xml allowed me to use the mprof commands.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
	<BuildConfiguration>
	<bUseMallocProfiler>true</bUseMallocProfiler>
	</BuildConfiguration>
</Configuration>

you can use mprof start, stop, snapshot commands to dump memory. build and run MomoryProfiler2 to view that dump. for your reference, see FMallocProfiler::HandleMProfCommand function.
source code path of MemoryProfiler2 is Engine\Source\Programs\MemoryProfiler2.

Thanks for your answer regarding the profiler. I am unable to execute these mprof commands though?

[0105.17][188]Command not recognized: mprof start

sorry, you have to first enable USE_MALLOC_PROFILER macro to 1

Don’t set the Macro to 1, use bUseMallocProfiler = true; in your game’s Target or you won’t be able to properly build UnrealHeaderTool (at least in the Switch toolchain)
