vizplugins

official plugins for VizTracer; currently support tracing cpu and memory usage through psutil.

Install

The prefered way to install vizplugins is via pip

pip install vizplugins

Basic Usage

The vizplugin should be used with viztracer.

You can use VizTracer and the plugin by

viztracer --plugin vizplugins.cpu_usage -- my_script.py arg1 arg2

which will record the cpu percent of the process and generate a result.html file in the directory you run this command, which you can open with Chrome.

The plugin samples cpu usage per 0.02s by default, but you can explicitly indicate the desired frequency at which to sample data per second

viztracer --plugin "vizplugins.cpu_usage -f 20" -- my_script.py arg1 arg2

which will sample data approximately 20 times per second, with a sampling interval of 0.05 second.

You can also trace the memory usage and cpu usage by

viztracer --plugin vizplugins --cpu_usage --memory_usage -- my_script.py arg1 arg2

which will record both the cpu and memory usage.

Example

The below image is an example of the resulting html, which is called on an recursively defined fibonacci funtion.

The "cpu_usage" on the top indicates the corresponding cpu usage at each time period. The "memory_usage" have two colors, representing rss(Resident Set Size, the non-swapped physical memory) and vms(Virtual Memory Size). You can see the details by clicking on one of the periods.
