+
+    ```
+docker run --net=host -v $PWD:/root/pprof golang go tool pprof http://localhost:4040/debug/pprof/heap
+```
+  * To collect the CPU profile of the Scope Probe:
+
+    ```
+docker run --net=host -v $PWD:/root/pprof golang go tool pprof http://localhost:4041/debug/pprof/profile
+```
+
+  You will find the output profiles in your working directory.
