Getting memory usage of process from .Net Core app on Linux machine

Question

I'm trying to get the total memory usage of current process from the .netcore application.

System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().PagedMemorySize64 works fine on windows but it returns zero on Linux machine. I also tried System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter package to get the value but it throws platform is not supported exception.

I'm using .netcore 3.1 as framework.
