recon

Recon wants to be a set of tools usable in production to diagnose Erlang problems or inspect production environment safely.

To build the library:

rebar compile

Documentation for the library can be obtained at http://ferd.github.io/recon/

It is recommended that you use tags if you do not want bleeding edge and development content for this library.

Changelog

Branches are organized by version. master contains the bleeding edge, 2.x contains all stable changes up to the latest release of v2, and 1.x contains all stable changes of the first version of Recon.

2.x

  • 2.0.1:
    • Add support for R16B03 in recon_alloc.
  • 2.0.0:
    • Test suite added
    • Major rewrite of recon_alloc, thanks to Lukas Larsson. Things that changed include:
      • average_sizes/0 is renamed average_block_sizes/1 and now takes the keywords current and max.
      • Documentation updates.
      • memory/1 has new options in allocated_types and allocated_instances.
      • memory/2 has been added, which allows to choose between current and max values. memory(Term) is made equivalent to memory(Term, current).
      • Allow sbcs_to_mbcs/0 to take the arguments current and max.
      • Added unit conversion function set_unit/1, which allows to get the recon_alloc results in bytes (default), kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes, to help with readability.
    • Updated the internal rebar version, if anybody were to use it.
    • recon:port_info/1 no longer includes the parallelism option by default within the meta category as this would hurt backwards compatibility on some installations.
    • recon:get_state/2 is added in order to specify timeouts. recon:get_state/1 keeps its 5000 milliseconds timeout.
    • Addition of a fake attribute called binary_memory, which is callable in recon:info/2,4, recon:proc_count/2, and recon:proc_window/3. This attribute allows to fetch the amount of memory used by refc binaries for a process, and to sort by that value for counts and windows.

1.x

  • 1.2.0:
    • add recon_alloc:snapshot* functions, which allow memory allocation snapshots to be taken, saved on disk, reloaded, and analyzed on-demand. Thanks to Lukas Larsson for this functionality.
    • remove parallelism data from port_info for better OTP backwards compatibility with little loss of information.
  • 1.1.0:
    • add recon_lib:term_to_port to convert a string back to a usable port.
    • add recon:port_info/1 and recon:port_info/2
    • add recon_alloc module
  • 1.0.0: add info/2 and info/4. The memory info type thus gets renamed to memory_used, in order to avoid conflicts when picking between a type and a specific process attribute. Types exported by the module also get updated.
  • 0.4.2: extended app_deps.erl to read apps/ directories for releases
  • 0.4.1: fixed bug where nodes with lots of processes could see the GC call fail if said processes failed between long calls within the bin_leak function call.
  • 0.4.0: fixed bug where nodes with lots of processes or ports could see their count or window functions fail because a process or socket closed between the time the function started and before it finished. This ends up changing the API in recon_lib for the window and count functions that take a specific pid as an argument.
  • 0.3.1: factored out some logic from recon:info/1 into recon_lib:term_to_pid and allowed arbitrary terms to be used for pids in recon:get_state/1.
