taoensso.tufte

A simple, fast, monitoring profiler for Clojure/Script.

Usage: wrap+name interesting body exprs with the `p` macro. Then activate
profiling of these wrapped exprs using the `profiled` or `profile` macros:

  (profiled {} (p :my-fn (my-fn))) ; Returns [<body-result> <?pstats>]
  (profile  {} (p :my-fn (my-fn))) ; Returns  <body-result>, dispatches
                                   ; ?pstats to any registered handlers.

Extensive facilities are provided for compile-time elision and runtime
filtering.

See the relevant docstrings for more info:
  `p`, `profiled`, `profile`, `add-handler!` ; Core API

  (p        [opts & body] [id & body]) ; e.g. `(p ::my-pid (do-work))`
  (profiled [opts & body])             ; e.g. `(profiled {:level 2} (my-fn))`
  (profile  [opts & body])             ; e.g. `(profiled {:level 2} (my-fn))`

  (add-handler! [handler-id ns-pattern handler-fn])

How/where to use this library:
  Tufte profiling is highly optimized: even without elision, you can usually
  leave profiling enabled in production (e.g. for sampled profiling, or to
  detect unusual performance behaviour). Tufte's stats maps are well suited
  to programmatic monitoring.

Abbreviations, etc.
  - form  id = pid = id given in `p`
  - group id = gid = id given in `profile`

*min-level*

dynamic

clj

cljs

Integer e/o #{0 1 2 3 4 5 6}, or vector mapping ns-patterns to min-levels:
  [[<ns-pattern> <min-level>] ... ["*" <default-min-level>]]

See `*ns-filter*` for example patterns.

*ns-filter*

dynamic

clj

cljs

(fn may-profile-ns? [ns]) predicate, or ns-pattern.
Example ns-patterns:
  #{}, "*", "foo.bar", "foo.bar.*", #{"foo" "bar.*"},
  {:allow #{"foo" "bar.*"} :deny #{"foo.*.bar.*"}}

-elide?

clj

(-elide? level-form ns-str-form)
Returns true iff level or ns are compile-time filtered.
Called only at macro-expansiom time.

add-accumulating-handler!

clj

cljs

(add-accumulating-handler! {:keys [ns-pattern handler-id], :or {ns-pattern "*", handler-id :accumulating}})
Alpha, subject to change.

Creates a new StatsAccumulator (and agent in clj), then
registers a handler to accumulate `profile` output to the
StatsAccumulator using the agent.

Returns the StatsAccumulator. You can deref the result to
drain the accumulator and return {<group-id> <merged-pstats>}.

One common pattern is to deref the accumulator every n
minutes/etc. to get a view of total-system performance over
the period, e.g.:

(defonce my-sacc (add-accumulating-handler! {:ns-pattern "*"}))
(defonce my-sacc-drainer
  ;; Will drain and print formatted stats every minute
  (future
    (while true
      (when-let [m (not-empty @my-sacc)]
        (println (format-grouped-pstats m)))
      (Thread/sleep 60000))))

(profile ...) ; Used elsewhere in your application, e.g.
              ; wrapping relevant Ring routes in a web application.

See also `format-grouped-pstats`, example clj project.

add-basic-println-handler!

clj

cljs

(add-basic-println-handler! {:keys [ns-pattern handler-id format-pstats-opts], :or {ns-pattern "*", handler-id :basic-println}})
Adds a simple handler that logs `profile` stats output with `println`.

add-handler!

clj

cljs

(add-handler! handler-id handler-fn)(add-handler! handler-id ns-pattern handler-fn)
Use this to register interest in stats output produced by `profile` calls.
Each registered `handler-fn` will be called as:

  (handler-fn {:ns-str _ :level _ :?id _ :?data _ :pstats _ :pstats-str_ _})

Map args:
  :ns-str      - Namespace string where `profile` call took place
  :level       - Level e/o #{0 1 2 3 4 5}, given in `(profile {:level _} ...)`
  :?id         - Optional group id,        given in `(profile {:id    _} ...)`
  :?data       - Optional arb data,        given in `(profile {:data  _} ...)`
  :pstats      - As in `(second (profiled ...))`. Derefable, mergeable.
  :pstats-str_ - `(delay (format-pstats pstats))

Error handling (NB):
  Handler errors will be silently swallowed. Please `try`/`catch` and
  appropriately deal with (e.g. log) possible errors *within* `handler-fn`.

Async/blocking:
  `handler-fn` should ideally be non-blocking, or reasonably cheap. Handler
   dispatch occurs through a 1-thread 1k-buffer dropping queue.

Ns filtering:
  Provide an optional `ns-pattern` arg to only call handler for matching
  namespaces. See `*ns-filter*` for example patterns.

Handler ideas:
  Save to a db, log, `put!` to an appropriate `core.async` channel, filter,
  aggregate, use for a realtime analytics dashboard, examine for outliers
  or unexpected output, ...

capture-time!

macro

clj

cljs

(format-grouped-pstats m)(format-grouped-pstats m {:keys [group-sort-fn format-pstats-opts], :or {group-sort-fn (fn [m] (get-in m [:clock :total] 0))}})

format-id-abbr

clj

cljs

Statistics are lossless unless data to merge are very large.

new-pdata

clj

cljs

(new-pdata)(new-pdata {:keys [dynamic? nmax], :or {dynamic? true, nmax default-nmax}})
Note: this is a low-level primitive for advanced users!
Returns a new pdata object for use with `with-profiling` and/or `capture-time!`.
Deref to get pstats:

  (let [pd (new-pdata)
        t0 (System/nanoTime)]
    (with-profiling pd {}
      (p :foo (Thread/sleep 100))
      (capture-time! pd :bar (- t0 (System/nanoTime))))
    (deref pd))

Dynamic (thread-safe) by default.
*WARNING*: don't change this default unless you're very sure the resulting
pdata object will not be concurrently modified across threads. Concurrent
modification will lead to bad data and/or exceptions!

p

macro

clj

cljs

(p id & body)(p opts & body)
Profiling spy. Always executes body, and always returns <body-result>.

When [ns level] unelided and profiling is active, records execution
time of body.

Compile-time opts:
 :id    - Form id for this body in stats output (e.g. `::my-fn-call`)
 :level - e/o #{0 1 2 3 4 5} ; Default is `5`

profile

macro

clj

cljs

(profile opts & body)
Always executes body, and always returns <body-result>.

When [ns level] unelided and [ns level `when`] unfiltered, executes body
with profiling active and dispatches stats to any registered handlers
(see `add-handler!`).

Handy if you'd like to consume/aggregate stats output later/elsewhere.
Otherwise see `profiled`.

Compile-time opts:
  :dynamic? - Use multi-threaded profiling? ; Default is `false`
  :nmax     - ~Max captures per id before compaction ; Default is 8e5

Runtime opts:
  :level    - e/o #{0 1 2 3 4 5} ; Default is `5`
  :when     - Optional arbitrary conditional form (e.g. boolean expr)
  :id       - Optional group id provided to handlers (e.g. `::my-stats-1`)
  :data     - Optional arbitrary data provided to handlers

Laziness in body:
  Lazy seqs and other forms of laziness (e.g. delays) in body will only
  contribute to profiling results if/when EVALUATION ACTUALLY OCCURS.
  This is intentional and a useful property. Compare:

  (profile {}  (delay (Thread/sleep 2000))) ; Doesn't count sleep
  (profile {} @(delay (Thread/sleep 2000))) ; Does    count sleep

Async code in body:
  Execution time of any code in body that runs asynchronously on a
  different thread will generally NOT be automatically captured by default.

  :dynamic? can be used to support capture in cases where Clojure's
  binding conveyance applies (e.g. futures, agents, pmap). Just make sure
  that all work you want to capture has COMPLETED before the `profiled`
  form ends- for example, by blocking on pending futures.

  In other advanced cases (notably core.async `go` blocks), please see
  `with-profiling` and `capture-time!`.

`core.async` warning:
   `core.async` code can be difficult to profile correctly without a deep
   understanding of precisely what it's doing under-the-covers.

   Some general recommendations that can help keep things simple:

     - Try minimize the amount of code + logic in `go` blocks. Use `go`
       blocks for un/parking to get the data you need, then pass the data
       to external fns. Profile these fns (or in these fns), not in your
       `go` blocks.

     - In particular: you MUST NEVER have parking calls inside
       `(profiled {:dynamic? false} ...)`.

       This can lead to concurrency exceptions.

       If you must profile code within a go block, and you really want to
       include un/parking times, use `(profiled {:dynamic? true} ...)`
       instead.

profiled

macro

clj

cljs

(profiled opts & body)
Always executes body, and always returns [<body-result> <?pstats>].

When [ns level] unelided and [ns level `when`] unfiltered, executes body
with profiling active.

Handy if you'd like to consume stats output directly.
Otherwise see `profile`.

`pstats` objects are derefable and mergeable:
  - @pstats                 => {:clock {:keys [t0 t1 total]}, :stats {<id> {:keys [n sum ...]}}}
  - @(merge-pstats ps1 ps2) => {:clock {:keys [t0 t1 total]}, :stats {<id> {:keys [n sum ...]}}}

Full set of keys in `:stats` maps:
  :n :min :max :mean :mad :sum :p25 :p50 :p75 :p90 :p95 :p99 :loc

  All values are numerical (longs or doubles), except for `:loc` which
  is a map of `p` callsite location information, e.g.:
    {:ns "my-ns", :file "/tmp/my-ns.clj", :line 122, :column 21}

Compile-time opts:
  :dynamic? - Use multi-threaded profiling? ; Default is `false`
  :nmax     - ~Max captures per id before compaction ; Default is 8e5

Runtime opts:
  :level    - e/o #{0 1 2 3 4 5} ; Default is `5`
  :when     - Optional arbitrary conditional form (e.g. boolean expr)

  Lazy seqs and other forms of laziness (e.g. delays) in body will only
  contribute to profiling results if/when EVALUATION ACTUALLY OCCURS.
  This is intentional and a useful property. Compare:

  (profiled {}  (delay (Thread/sleep 2000))) ; Doesn't count sleep
  (profiled {} @(delay (Thread/sleep 2000))) ; Does    count sleep

(remove-handler! handler-id)

stats-accumulator

clj

cljs

(stats-accumulator)
Alpha, subject to change.
Small util to help merge pstats from multiple runs or threads.

Returns a stateful StatsAccumulator (`sacc`) with:
  - `(sacc <group-id> <pstats>)` ; Merges given pstats under given group id
  - `@sacc`                      ; Drains accumulator and returns {<group-id> <merged-pstats>}

Note that you may want some kind of async/buffer/serialization
mechanism in front of merge calls for performance (e.g. by using an agent).

See also `add-accumulating-handler!`, example clj project.

with-profiling

macro

clj

cljs

(with-profiling pdata {:keys [dynamic? nmax], :or {nmax default-nmax}} & body)
Note: this is a low-level primitive for advanced users!
Enables `p` forms in body and returns body's result.

If `:dynamic?` is false (default), body's evaluation MUST begin
and end without interruption on the same thread. In particular
this means that body MUST NOT contain any parking `core.async`
calls.

See `new-pdata` for more info on low-level primitives.
