I am trying to find away to analyze the memory consumption in a NodeJS application. I am trying to use Chrome dev-tool on top of node inspector. It's quite basic to start and I am listening on default 9229 port as suggested [here](https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/debugging-getting-started/).

After connecting to the port from chrome, I can see the consoles and files under Node but I am unable to run memory snapshots. It's just disabled.

Opened the inspect screen and clicked on the inspect.

Then I see these options completely disabled.

On hover of record button, I see a message "Another profiler is already active" which I don't have a clue to.

What could be the underlying issue here?

**System specifications**

Chrome - 83.0.4103.97

OS - Windows 10

Node - 8.9.4

Any help is appreciated!
