New DTrace GUI + Chime Plugin article on NetBeans site
The ink had barely dried on my
previous posting which included a reference to DTrace GUI features that are
new in Sun
Studio Express 7/08 , when Nasser Nouri, who created the DTrace GUI
plugin in NetBeans, brought to my attention this
newly published article on it at the NetBeans site.
The article describes how the DTrace GUI works, how to use D Scripts
packaged in the DTrace
Toolkit, how to download, install and run the Plugin.
A new feature added to the Plugin that gives it additional appeal is
the inclusion of Chime, a
graphical tool for visualizing DTrace
aggregations. Users like it for its ability to display data as it is
streaming in, but an interesting feature is the way it can be
extended for new displays(yes, the article has a section on Adding New Chime Displays as well!).
There are also some nice screenshots there. You can download the DTrace GUI
from the NetBeans Update Center.
Good work, Nasser!
