G2 is a fine-grained event-log viewer. It's +highly scalable, supporting O(1e7 events) and O(1e3 discrete display "tracks"). +G2 displays binary data generated by the vppinfra "elog.[ch]" logger component, +and also supports the CPEL file format, as described in this section. + +Building +-------------- + +.. code-block:: console + + $ cd build-root + $ make g2-install + $ ./install-native/g2/bin/g2 --help + g2 [--ticks-per-us <value>][--cpel-input <filename>] [--clib-input <filename]> + G2 (x86_64 GNU/Linux) major version 3.0 + Built Wed Feb 3 10:58:12 EST 2016 + +Setting the Display Preferences +------------------------------------------------ + +The file $<*HOMEDIR*>/.g2 contains display preferences, which can be overridden. +Simply un-comment one of the stanzas shown below, or experiment as desired. + +.. code-block:: c + + /* + * Property / parameter settings for G2 + * + * Setting for a 1024x768 display: + * event_selector_lines=20 + * drawbox_height=800 + * drawbox_width=600 + * + * new mac w/ no monitor: + * event_selector_lines=20 + * drawbox_height=1200 + * drawbox_width=700 + * + * 1600x1200: + * drawbox_width=1200 + * drawbox_height=1000 + * event_selector_lines=25 + * + * for making screenshots on a Macbook Pro + * drawbox_width=1200 + * drawbox_height=600 + * event_selector_lines=20 + */ + +Screen Taxonomy +---------------------------- + +Here is an annotated G2 viewer screenshot, corresponding to activity during BGP +prefix download. This data was captured on a Cisco IOS-XR system: + +.. figure:: /_images/g21.jpg + :scale: 75% + + +The viewer has two main scrollbars: the horizontal axis scrollbar shifts the main +drawing area in time; the vertical axis changes the set of visible process traces. +The zoomin / zoomout operators change the time scale. + +The event selector PolyCheckMenu changes the set of displayed events. +Using these tools -- and some patience -- you can understand a given event log. + +Mouse Gestures +------------------------- + +G2 has three fairly sophisticated mouse gesture interfaces, which are worth describing +in detail. First, a left mouse click on a display event pops up a per-event detail box. + +.. figure:: /_images/g22.jpg + :scale: 75% + +A left mouse click on an event detail box closes it. +To zoom to a region of the display, press and hold the left mouse button, then drag +right or left until the zoom-fence pair appears: + +.. figure:: /_images/g23.jpg + :scale: 75% + +When the zoom operation completes, the display is as follows: + +.. figure:: /_images/g24.jpg + +A click on any of the figures will show them at full resolution, right-click will open figures in new tabs, + +Time Ruler +------------------ + +To use a time ruler, press and hold the right mouse button; drag right or left +until the ruler measures the region of interest. If the time axis scale is coarse, +event boxes can have significant width in time, so use a "reference point" in +each event box when using the time ruler. + +.. figure:: /_images/g25.jpg + :scale: 75% + +Event Selection +------------------------- + +Changing the Event Selector setup controls the set of points displayed in an +obvious way. Here, we suppress all events except "this thread is now running on the CPU": + +.. figure:: /_images/g26.jpg + :scale: 75% + +Same setup, with all events displayed: + +.. figure:: /_images/g27.jpg + :scale: 75% + +Note that event detail boxes previously shown, but suppressed due to deselection +of the event code will reappear when one reselects the event code. In the example +above, the "THREAD/THREADY pid:491720 tid:12" detail box appears in this fashion. + +Snapshot Ring +----------------------- + +Three buttons in lower left-hand corner of the g2 main window control the snapshot +ring. Snapshots are simply saved views: maneuver the viewer into an "interesting" +configuration, then press the "Snap" button to add a snapshot to the ring. + +Click **Next** to restore the next available snapshot. The **Del** button deletes the current snapshot. + +See the hotkey section below for access to a quick and easy method to save and +restore the snapshot ring. Eventually we may add a safe/portable/supported mechanism +to save/restore the snapshot ring from CPEL and vppinfra event log files. + +Chasing Events +------------------------ + +Event chasing sorts the trace axis by occurrence of the last selected event. For +example, if one selects an event which means "thread running on the CPU" the first +N displayed traces will be the first M threads to run (N <= M; a thread may run +more than once. This feature addresses analytic problems caused by the finite size of the drawing area. + +In standard (NoChaseEvent) mode, it looks like only BGP threads 5 and 9 are active: + +.. figure:: /_images/g28.jpg + :scale: 75% + +After pressing the ChaseEvent button, we see a different picture: + +.. figure:: /_images/g29.jpg + :scale: 75% + +Burying Boring Tracks +----------------------------------- + +The sequence <ctrl><left-mouse-click> moves the track under the mouse to the end +of the set of tracks, effectively burying it. The sequence <shift><left-mouse-click> +moves the track under the mouse to the beginning of the set of tracks. The latter +function probably isn't precisely right--I think we may eventually provide an "undo" +stack to provide precise thread exhumation. + +Summary Mode +------------------------- + +Summary mode declutters the screen by rendering events as short vertical line +segments instead of numbered boxes. Event detail display is unaffected. G2 starts +in summary mode, zoomed out sufficiently for all events in the trace to be displayed. +Given a large number of events, summary mode reduces initial screen-paint time to a +tolerable value. Once you've zoomed in sufficiently, type "e" - enter event mode, +to enable boxed numeric event display. + +Hotkeys +------------- + +G2 supports the following hotkey actions, supposedly (circa 1996) Quake-like +according to the feature's original author: + ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ +| Key | Function | ++======================+========================================================+ +| w | Zoom-in | ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ +| s | Zoom-out | ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ +| a | Scroll Left | ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ +| d | Scroll Right | ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ +| e | Toggle between event and summary-event mode | ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ +| p | Put (write) snapshot ring to snapshots.g2 | ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ +| l | Load (read) snapshot ring from snapshots.g2 | ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ +| <ctrl>-q | quit | ++----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ diff --git a/docs/gettingstarted/developers/gdb_examples.rst b/docs/gettingstarted/developers/gdb_examples.rst index 8ea34cbc276..8a0fb33e2a8 100644 --- a/docs/gettingstarted/developers/gdb_examples.rst +++ b/docs/gettingstarted/developers/gdb_examples.rst @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ In this section we have a few useful gdb commands.
