Introduction

This plugin is a logging plugin which prints a timestamp during all placements of backend.

Installation

See installation. The package is called libelektra5-extra.

Usage

If you want to measure how long your storage plugin needs to do the read and write you mount the plugin using:

kdb mount file.ysp user:/trace_point your_storage_plugin timeofday

Then you can benchmark your storage plugin in the get path:

kdb get user:/benchmark
#> get     0000000356      di      0000000356      pos     pregetstorage
#> get     0000000530      di      0000000174      pos     postgetstorage
#> hello

and in the set path:

kdb set user:/benchmark
#> get     0000000342      di      0000000342      pos     pregetstorage
#> get     0000000532      di      0000000190      pos     postgetstorage
#> Set null value
#> set     0000000766      di      0000000234      pos     presetstorage
#> set     0000001002      di      0000000236      pos     precommit
#> set     0000008944      di      0000007942      pos     postcommit

The first digit column shows the complete time passed, the second column shows the time from invocation to invocation.
