Hello,  
is there any viable way to programmatically retrieve all actor’s memory footprint at any given time?  
Possibly natively from within Ray State APIs.

Our Ray is deployed on EKS, and I am aware that it’s probably possible to backtrack it via PID + kubectl, but I’m wondering if there’s any native way via State APIs.

Thanks!
