Collectors

Collectors

There are a number of drivers to support different collector backends:

Redis

  • Overview

    The Redis driver allows profiling data to be collected into a redis database instance. The traces are stored as key-value pairs where the key is a string built using trace ids and timestamps and the values are JSON strings containing the trace information. A second driver is included to use Redis Sentinel in addition to single node Redis.

  • Capabilities

    • Write trace data to the database.
    • Query Traces in database: This allows for pulling trace data querying on the keys used to save the data in the database.
    • Generate a report based on the traces stored in the database.
    • Supports use of Redis Sentinel for robustness.
  • Usage

    The driver is used by OSProfiler when using a connection-string URL of the form redis://<hostname>:<port>. To use the Sentinel version use a connection-string of the form redissentinel://<hostname>:<port>

  • Configuration

    • No config changes are required by for the base Redis driver.
    • There are two configuration options for the Redis Sentinel driver:
      • socket_timeout: specifies the sentinel connection socket timeout value. Defaults to: 0.1 seconds
      • sentinel_service_name: The name of the Sentinel service to use. Defaults to: “mymaster”
