* Helps reduce garbage (MakeMetric() now takes a slice and there's a shorter version MakeSingletonMetric())
* Fixes bug computing Max (Min) in samples since using MakeMetric()
was causing a default Max/Min of zero.
* Simplifies code a bit
Also:
* Remove Gob encoder/decoder
* Stop using custom encoders/decoders for Timestamps (both ugorji and the Golang JSON codecs use nanosecond precision).
* Use idiomatic way to check for existence in metric.LastSample()
Squash of:
* Include plugins in the report
* show plugin list in the UI
* moving metric and metadata templates into the probe reports
* update js for prime -> priority
* added retry to plugin handshake
* added iowait plugin
* review feedback
* plugin documentation
NewNodeMetadata -> MakeNodeMetadata. It doesn't return a pointer, so
Make is more idiomatic.
Invoke MakeNodeMetadata when necessary. The zero value for a
NodeMetadata is no longer valid.
Split MakeNodeMetadata to two constructors. MakeNodeMetadata when you
don't have anything to prepopulate; MakeNodeMetadataWith when you do.
Also, a fix to the tests in app. We unmarshal a RenderableNode struct,
which has a JSON-ignored NodeMetadata field. The zero value is invalid,
so we need to fix that before performing comparisons.
This fixes the regression where process names weren't appearing for
Darwin probes. Makes testing easier.
Also, changes the process walker to operate on value types. There's no
performance advantage to using reference types for something of this
size, and there appeared to be a data race in the Darwin port that
caused nodes to gain and lose process names over time.
Also, restructures how to enable docker scraping. Default false when run
manually, and enabled via --probe.docker true in the scope script.
This causes detailed node lookups for the grouped-by-process-name view to fail. Also, add a test for process walker trimmming whitespace, and a test the process-by-name view gives the right result.
- Move pidtree to its own module and disaggregate it into tree, walker and reporter.
- Extend testing for probe/process
- Extend process metadata; add command line & # threads.
