How to check node.js event queue?

Question

I have what seems like a huge memory leak in my node.js application, but when I use node -webkit-agent to examine the heap, it seems pretty small. I suspect there could be a whole ton of asynchronous operations in the node.js event queue, but I'm not sure how to check this. Is there any way to do this?

You can check for open descriptors and queries by checking the return values ​​of the undocumented functions process._getActiveHandles() and process._getActiveRequests() respectively. This will not give you everything that can wait in an event loop, but it should help.
