Erlang eXchange 2008: Garry Bulmer on Erlang- D-Trace
Erlang- D-Trace
DTrace provides unique capabilities. It can be used to observe, monitor, measure and debug end-to-end systems in production, as well as during test and development. When not actively monitoring, DTrace has virtually no overhead. DTrace is able to simultaneously observe multiple applications and the underlying Operating System kernel, correlating events and resource usage throughout a system. Dtrace can observe the internal behaviour of traditional programs without access to source. Further, application developers have provided easy-to-use observation into applications written in Java, Ruby, Php, etc. as well as observing the behaviour of queries in database like PostgreSQL and MySQL, all the way back to the \'Web 2.0\' JavaScript running in Firefox and onto Apache.
This Erlang eXchange talk describes Erlang-DTrace as it is implemented, then moves onto show how to use it to monitor multi-tier applications using Erlang and other application technologies.
