et_selector(3erl) Erlang Module Definition et_selector(3erl)

NAME

et_selector - Define event transforms and trace patterns

DESCRIPTION

EXPORTS

make_pattern(RawPattern) -> TracePattern
 
Types:
RawPattern = detail_level()
 
TracePattern = erlang_trace_pattern_match_spec()
 
detail_level() = min | max | integer(X) when X >= 0, X =< 100
 
Makes a trace pattern suitable to feed change_pattern/1
Min detail level deactivates tracing of calls to et:trace_me/4,5
Max detail level activates tracing of all calls to et:trace_me/4,5
integer(X) detail level activates tracing of all calls to et:trace_me/4,5 whose detail level argument is lesser than X.
See also erlang:trace_pattern/2 for more info about its match_spec()
change_pattern(Pattern) -> ok
 
Types:
Pattern = detail_level() | empty_match_spec() | erlang_trace_pattern_match_spec()
 
detail_level() = min | max | integer(X) when X >= 0, X =< 100
 
empty_match_spec() = []
 
Activates/deactivates tracing by changing the current trace pattern.
min detail level deactivates tracing of calls to et:trace_me/4,5
max detail level activates tracing of all calls to et:trace_me/4,5
integer(X) detail level activates tracing of all calls to et:trace_me/4,5 whose detail level argument is lesser than X.
An empty match spec deactivates tracing of calls to et:trace_me/4,5
Other match specs activates tracing of calls to et:trace_me/4,5 accordingly with erlang:trace_pattern/2.
parse_event(Mod, ValidTraceData) -> false | true | {true, Event}
 
Types:
Mod = module_name() | undefined <v>module_name() = atom() <v>ValidTraceData = erlang_trace_data() | record(event)
 
erlang_trace_data() = {trace, Pid, Label, Info} | {trace, Pid, Label, Info, Extra} | {trace_ts, Pid, Label, Info, ReportedTS} | {trace_ts, Pid, Label, Info, Extra, ReportedTS} | {seq_trace, Label, Info} | {seq_trace, Label, Info, ReportedTS} | {drop, NumberOfDroppedItems}
 
Transforms trace data and makes an event record out of it.
See erlang:trace/3 for more info about the semantics of the trace data.
An event record consists of the following fields:
detail_level:
Noise has a high level as opposed to essentials.
trace_ts:
Time when the trace was generated. Same as event_ts if omitted in trace data.
event_ts:
Time when the event record was created.
from:
From actor, such as sender of a message.
to:
To actor, such as receiver of message.
label:
Label intended to provide a brief event summary.
contents:
All nitty gritty details of the event.
See et:trace_me/4and et:trace_me/5 for details.
Returns:
{true, Event}:
where Event is an #event{} record representing the trace data
true:
means that the trace data already is an event record and that it is valid as it is. No transformation is needed.
false:
means that the trace data is uninteresting and should be dropped
