How to get additional profile types such as allocated memory and heap profiling in Parca UI

[Adib234]

Hello, I came across the tutorial and read the note regarding how Parca Agent's automatic profiling with zero-instrumentation currently only supports CPU profiling. Does this mean I would need a pull-based approach of collecting profiles in pprof format from HTTP endpoints and how would this be done? I checked out the example https://github.com/polarsignals/pprof-example-app-go and then went on Parca UI but I still see only CPU samples being the only available profile type. I've had the example deployed in a cluster and deployed a Prometheus-based collector.

Can you share what you tried here? This is the correct approach, the scraper is the Parca server itself.

I first tried deploying the example using kubectl apply -f and then setting up parca exactly how it's done in the tutorial for setting up Parca with Kubernetes https://www.parca.dev/docs/kubernetes/, then I deployed my Prometheus-based collector however for some reason I only see CPU samples as the only profile type

Can you share what you see on the /targets page?

I was able to resolve this by fixing parca.yaml
