Flames

Pluggable Flame Graphs for Clojure.

Usage

It's easier than you think. Get the newest release. Require the flames.core namespace and start the profiler.

(require '[flames.core :as flames])
(def flames (flames/start! {:port 54321, :host "localhost"}))

Wait 5 seconds and check out http://localhost:54321/flames.svg. When you're done stop the profiler by invoking:

(flames/stop! flames)

or

(.close flames)

clojure.core/with-open works too.

Options

flames.core/start! accepts a map of following options:

• :host – host to which the HTTP server will bind,
• :port – port on which the HTTP server will listen,
• :dt – number of seconds of profiling between updates of the flame graph,
• :load – target fraction of one core's CPU time to use for profiling.

Find more information about :dt and :load options as well as principles of operation of the profiler in README of riemann-jvm-profiler.

Graph generation

Contents of the flame graph can be filtered using regular expressions passed in filter and remove query params.

GET /flames.svg?remove=%28socketRead|epollWait|socketAccept|readBytes%29
GET /flames.svg?filter=flames.core

Maturity status

Completely experimental.
