Bryan Boreham b6d5594f9f perf(probe): publish delta reports to reduce data size
Similar to video compression which uses key-frames and differences
between them: every N publishes we send a full report, but inbetween
we only send what has changed.

Fairly simple approach in the probe - hold on to the last full report,
and for the deltas remove anything that would be merged in from the
full report.

On the receiving side in the app it already merges a set of reports
together to produce the final output for rendering, so provided N is
smaller than that set we don't need to do anything different.

Deltas don't need to represent nodes that have disappeared - an
earlier full node will have that node so it would be merged into the
final output anyway.

Quick overview

Information gatherers

These implement the Reporter interface

  • awsecs Deals with talking to AWS ECS to get stats and info
  • docker Inspects the docker status
  • endpoint Gathers connection data
  • host Gets data from the host os, including things like CPU and mem stats
  • kubernetes Gathers data from k8s
  • overlay Talks to Weave Net for network stats from the overlay network
  • process Is code that looks up running process and stats form the os

Utility and control

  • appclient Deals with generating and sending reports
  • controls Utility code for control messages and the like
  • plugins allows plugins to be added to the probe.
