Oracle unveils new debugging tools |
 |
The Oracle Linux team have unveiled a series of debugging and analysis tools for their distribution. These tools, which aim to primarily assist developers and administrators in enterprise environments, are detailed in the company's blog post. "Performance Co-Pilot is an open source toolkit for monitoring and analyzing system performance metrics, both live and retrospective. It provides many tools and services that monitor, log, analyze and format system-level measurements. Oracle has added a few new tools to the PCP toolkit that assist the system admin in reviewing and analyzing a few procfs-derived metrics in a user-friendly format.
drgn is an open source debugger that was developed by Meta as an alternative to crash for debugging the Linux kernel. At Oracle, we have embraced the programmability of drgn for debugging complex problems, and are actively contributing to drgn (for instance, adding CTF support to it) as well as creating a new set of helpers for drgn that are geared towards monitoring and debugging Oracle Linux systems.
A third subproject, and the focus of this blog, is oled-tools. It is a collection of custom debug tools and scripts that collect and analyze more focused and useful data about a narrow, specific subsystem that is under scrutiny, in order to get more detailed data about the subsystem that is perhaps behaving abnormally." |
