You could monitor your services for memory consumption?
Something like
  ps -e -orss=,args= | sort -b -k1,1n
or
  ps -auxf | sort -nr -k 4
maybe with
  ps -auxf | sort -nr -k 4 | head -10
shows sorted memory consumption by process or you might rather want to use
a monitoring tool like sar, nagios, or whatever to find out which process
causes this...
