It's possible to use this facility to aid in debugging -- and/or perform other diagnostic tasks to a program at runtime. -- -- [Enabling Tracing] -- -- Throughout the lifecycle of a local node, the distributed-process runtime -- generates /trace events/, describing internal runtime activities such as -- the spawning and death of processes, message sending, delivery and so on. -- See the 'MxEvent' type's documentation for a list of all the published -- event types, which correspond directly to the types of /management/ events. -- Users can additionally publish custom trace events in the form of -- 'MxLog' log messages or pass custom (i.e., completely user defined) -- event data using the 'traceMessage' function. -- -- All published traces are forwarded to a /tracer process/, which can be -- specified (and changed) at runtime using 'traceEnable'. Some pre-defined -- tracer processes are provided for conveniently printing to stderr, a log file -- or the GHC eventlog. -- -- If a tracer process crashes, no attempt is made to restart it. -- -- [Working with multiple tracer processes] -- -- The tracing facility only ever writes to a single tracer process. This -- invariant insulates the tracer controller and ensures a fast path for -- handling all trace events. /This/ module provides facilities for layering -- trace handlers using Cloud Haskell's built-in delegation primitives. -- -- The 'startTracer' function wraps the registered @tracer@ process with the -- supplied handler and also forwards trace events to the original tracer. -- The corresponding 'stopTracer' function terminates tracer processes in -- reverse of the order in which they were started, and re-registers the -- previous tracer process. -- -- [Built in tracers] -- -- The built in tracers provide a simple /logging/ facility that writes trace -- events out to either a log file, @stderr@ or the GHC eventlog. These tracers -- can be configured using environment variables, or specified manually using -- the 'traceEnable' function. -- -- When a new local node is started, the contents of several environment -- variables are checked to determine which default tracer process is selected. -- If none of these variables is set, a no-op tracer process is installed, -- which effectively ignores all trace messages. Note that in this case, -- trace events are still generated and passed through the system. -- Only one default tracer will be chosen - the first that contains a (valid) -- value. These environment variables, in the order they're examined, are: -- -- 1. @DISTRIBUTED_PROCESS_TRACE_FILE@ -- This is checked for a valid file path. If it exists and the file can be -- opened for writing, all trace output will be directed thence. If the supplied -- path is invalid, or the file is unavailable for writing, this tracer will not -- be selected. -- -- 2. @DISTRIBUTED_PROCESS_TRACE_CONSOLE@ -- This is checked for /any/ non-empty value. If set, then all trace output will -- be directed to the system logger process. -- -- 3. @DISTRIBUTED_PROCESS_TRACE_EVENTLOG@ -- This is checked for /any/ non-empty value. If set, all internal traces are -- written to the GHC eventlog. -- -- Users of the /simplelocalnet/ Cloud Haskell backend should also note that -- because the trace file option only supports trace output from a single node -- (so as to avoid interleaving), a file trace configured for the master node -- will prevent slaves from tracing to the file. They will need to fall back to -- the console or eventlog tracers instead, which can be accomplished by setting -- one of these environment variables /as well/, since the latter will only be -- selected on slaves (when the file tracer selection fails). -- -- Support for writing to the eventlog requires specific intervention to work, -- without which, written traces are silently dropped/ignored and no output will -- be generated. The GHC eventlog documentation provides information about -- enabling, viewing and working with event traces at -- <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/EventLog>. -- module Control.Distributed.Process.Debug ( -- * Exported Data Types TraceArg(..) , TraceFlags(..) , TraceSubject(..) -- * Configuring Tracing , enableTrace , enableTraceAsync , disableTrace , withTracer , withFlags , getTraceFlags , setTraceFlags , setTraceFlagsAsync , defaultTraceFlags , traceOn , traceOnly , traceOff -- * Debugging , startTracer , stopTracer -- * Sending Custom Trace Data , traceLog , traceLogFmt , traceMessage -- * Working with remote nodes , Remote.remoteTable , Remote.startTraceRelay , Remote.setTraceFlagsRemote -- * Built in tracers , systemLoggerTracer , logfileTracer , eventLogTracer ) where import Control.Applicative ((<$>)) import Control.Distributed.Process.Internal.Primitives ( proxy , finally , die , whereis , send , receiveWait , matchIf , finally , try , monitor ) import Control.Distributed.Process.Internal.Types ( ProcessId , Process , LocalProcess(..) , ProcessMonitorNotification(..) ) import Control.Distributed.Process.Management.Internal.Types ( MxEvent(..) ) import Control.Distributed.Process.Management.Internal.Trace.Types ( TraceArg(..) , TraceFlags(..) , TraceSubject(..) , defaultTraceFlags ) import Control.Distributed.Process.Management.Internal.Trace.Tracer ( systemLoggerTracer , logfileTracer , eventLogTracer ) import Control.Distributed.Process.Management.Internal.Trace.Primitives ( withRegisteredTracer , enableTrace , enableTraceAsync , disableTrace , setTraceFlags , setTraceFlagsAsync , getTraceFlags , traceOn , traceOff , traceOnly , traceLog , traceLogFmt , traceMessage ) import qualified Control.Distributed.Process.Management.Internal.Trace.Remote as Remote import Control.Distributed.Process.Node import Control.Exception (SomeException) import Control.Monad.IO.Class (liftIO) import Control.Monad.Reader (ask) import Data.Binary() #if !
