NodeJS : How to debug “EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 listeners added”

by

It turns out that this is a bug in nodejs core, we are talking about this problem here : https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/5108

Solution for bugged http servers thats throw an EventEmitter memory leak detected and fill up the available memory / available CPU times :

Revert to legacy version v0.8.23. (You can download and install/compile it from here : http://blog.nodejs.org/2013/04/08/node-v0-8-23-legacy/)

UPDATE 2018 : I see several feedbacks on this topic whereas the problem looks to be gone since years. Note that this response is only for a leaking http server build with nodejs. If you are in other scenario, please look the others responses on this thread and dont downgrade your version (as suggested on this response), you will waste your time.
