erlang调试技术之etop

etop是erlang进程信息查看工具，类似于UNIX的top.

一、配置参数

node

The measured node.
Value: atom()
Mandatory

setcookie

Cookie to use for the etop node - must be the same as the cookie on the measured node.
Value: atom()

lines

Number of lines (processes) to display.
Value: integer()
Default: 10

interval

The time interval (in seconds) between each update of the display.
Value: integer()
Default: 5

accumulate

If true the execution time and reductions are accumulated.
Value: boolean()
Default: false

sort

Identifies what information to sort by.
Value: runtime | reductions | memory | msg_q
Default: runtime (reductions if tracing=off)

tracing

etop uses the erlang trace facility, and thus no other tracing is possible on the measured node while etop is running, unless this option is set to off. Also helpful if the etop tracing causes too high load on the measured node. With tracing off, runtime is not measured.
Value: on | off
Default: on

二、EXPORTS

start() -> ok

 

This function starts etop. Note that etop is preferably started with the etop and getop scripts

start(Options) -> ok

Types:

Options = [Option]

Option = {Key, Value}

Key = atom()

Value = term()

 

This function starts etop. Use help/0 to see a description of the possible options.

help() -> ok

 

This function prints the help of etop and its options.

config(Key,Value) -> Result

Types:

Result = ok | {error,Reason}

Key = lines | interval | accumulate | sort

Value = term()

 

This function is used to change the tool's configuration parameters during runtime. The table above indicates the allowed values for each parameter.

dump(File) -> Result

Types:

Result = ok | {error,Reason}

File = string()

 

This function dumps the current display to a text file.

stop() -> stop

 

This function terminates etop.

三、实例

1、启动etop监控远程节点

erl -sname aa -remsh remote@domain

etop:start([{output,text},{lines,10},{sort,reductions},{accumulations,true},{interval,10}]).

或者etop -sname local@domain -lines 10 -sort reductions -accumulations true -interval 10 -setcookie remotecookie -remsh remote@domain(系统shell下执行)
