Tracer is a tracing framework for elixir which features an easy to use high level interface, extensibility and safety for using in production.

To run a tool use the run command. Tracing only happens when the tool is running. All tools accept the following parameters:

• node: node_name - Option to run the tool remotely.
• max_tracing_time: time - Maximum time to run tool (30sec).
• max_message_count: count - Maximum number of events (1000)
• max_queue_size: size - Maximum message queue size (1000)
• process: pid - Process to trace, also accepts regigered names, and :all, :existing, :new
• forward_pid: pid - Forward results as messages insted of printing to the display.

Examples

iex> run Count, process: self(), match: global String.split(string, pattern)
  :ok

  iex> String.split("Hello World", " ")
  ["Hello", "World"]

  iex> String.split("Hello World", " ")
  ["Hello", "World"]

  iex String.split("Hello World", "o")
  ["Hell", " W", "rld"]

  iex> String.split("Hello", "o")
  ["Hell", ""]

  iex> stop
  :ok

          1              [string:"Hello World", pattern:"o"]
          1              [string:"Hello"      , pattern:"o" ]
          2              [string:"Hello World", pattern:" "]
