Is there a way to monitor ray memory consumption inside the actor?  
I want to check how much memory the node that is hosting my actor has and how much memory my actor is consuming and stop some tasks based on a threshold.  
I tried using ray.nodes() to gather the information but it doesn’t return memory usage.  
I’m considering using the dashboard API to get this info:

- http://ray\_api\_path/logical/actors/actor\_id
- http://ray\_api\_path/nodes/node\_id

Is there a better way to do it?
