buildbot-profiler 1.3.1

Usage

installation:

pip install buildbot_profiler

then in master.cfg:

c['www']['plugins']['profiler'] = True

Alternatively, you can install it in service mode, without the UI

c['services'] = [util.ProfilerService()]

ProfilerService takes following arguments:

ProfilerService(frequency=100, gatherperiod=30 * 60, mode='virtual', basepath=None, wantBuilds=100)

• frequency: the profiling frequency in HZ. Not that if there is no activity during a profiling timer, no data will be recorded.

• gatherperiod: the period during which the profiler works on one file. By default a new json file is created every 30min with the profile of the last 30min. Note that if there is no activity the gather period might be longer.

• mode: profiling timer to use. Can be:

  • prof: use SIG_PROF timer,

  • virtual: use SIGVTALRM timer,

  • real: use SIGALRM timer,

• basepath: the base path where to store the json files. (defaults to (master's basedir)/prof_)

• wantBuilds: if this is > 0 then the last N builds are stored along side the profile data, for debug purpose.
