View Source erlperf_history (erlperf v2.2.2)

Collects, accumulates & filters cluster-wide monitoring events. Essentially a simple in-memory database for quick cluster overview.

History server helps to collect monitoring reports from multiple nodes of a single Erlang cluster. Example setup: single primary node running erlperf_history and erlperf_cluster_monitor listens to reports sent by several more nodes in a cluster, running continuous benchmarking jobs. Nodes may run the same Erlang code, but using different hardware or OS version. Or, conversely, same hardware and OS, but variants of Erlang code. See erlperf_cluster_monitor for a code sample.

Functions

Returns cluster history.

Returns cluster history reports between From and To (inclusive).

Starts the history server and links it to the calling process.

-spec get(From :: integer()) -> [{Time :: non_neg_integer(), erlperf_monitor:monitor_sample()}].

Returns cluster history.

Returns all reports since From timestamp to now, sorted by timestamp. From is wall clock time, in milliseconds (e.g. os:system_time(millisecond)).
-spec get(From :: integer(), To :: integer()) ->
       [{Time :: non_neg_integer(), erlperf_monitor:monitor_sample()}].

Returns cluster history reports between From and To (inclusive).

From and To are wall clock time, in milliseconds (e.g. os:system_time(millisecond)).
-spec start_link() -> {ok, Pid :: pid()} | ignore | {error, Reason :: term()}.

Equivalent to start_link(120000).

-spec start_link(Duration :: pos_integer()) -> {ok, Pid :: pid()} | ignore | {error, Reason :: term()}.

Starts the history server and links it to the calling process.

Designed for use as a part of a supervision tree. Duration is time (in milliseconds), how long to keep the reports for. Older reports are discarded.
