Data Model and Resources

Events (aka RuntimeEvents)

  • Events carry the basic run-time data of your system, such as cpu load, memory consumption, ipc messages, trace and logging data, etc.
  • Events can either be acquired from a target agent plug-in and sent to EB RACE or created by an importer directly in EB RACE.
  • An event always comes with a time-stamp along with any kind of value, whereas the value can be of primitive type or of any arbitrary complex type.
  • Complex types can be transformed into structured trees by a corresponding decoder.
  • Events can be accessed and created by use of the internal Script API

Script Example for working with events

/* 
    Search for events from the channel 'cpu.system' and  
    log a corresponding message whenever the value is higher than 25%
*/

@Execute(context=ExecutionContext.PRESELECTION, description="My description")
def dumpHighCPU(List<RuntimeEvent<?>> events) {
    events.filterByChannelName('cpu.system').filter[value as Double > 25.0].forEach[
    	consolePrintln("High CPU Load at "+new Date(timestamp/1000))
    ]
}

Channels

  • Channels are container for events of the same kind of data
  • They do have a unique names, such as "cpu.p:targetagent:3460", whereas the "." in the name serves as a separator in the hierarchical channel view
  • Channels with events of
    • numeric types (e.g. integer, double, etc.) can be visualized in Line Charts and Tables
    • boolean type can be visualized in Gantt Charts and Tables
    • complex types can be visualized in the decoder view as part of an EB RACE Table
  • Channels can be accessed and created by use of the internal Script API

Markers (aka Timemarkers)

  • Markers serve as global correlation items based on given time-stamps
  • They can be created in the context of events (in tables) or by double-clicking into charts
  • Markers are globally managed in the Time Markers View by means of
    • Toggling the visibility
    • Re-naming
    • Deleting
  • Timemarkers can be accessed, created and deleted by use of the internal Script API
