This document describes the changes made to the Inviso application.

+ + +
Inviso 0.6.1 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ The documentation is now built with open source tools + (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One + visible change is that the frames are removed.

Inviso 0.6 +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ In this release the following has been fixed and + enhanced: Autostart: It is now possible to configure + modules that shall be loaded by the autostart mechanism. + This because it is not certain that all application + systems make use of the OTP boot script to set up paths + to all Erlang modules. Runtime_tools/Inviso: A bug in the + fetch_log functionality has been fixed. Further a bug + that was (supposedly) fixed in a previous patch + concerning meta-tracer write_ti has been fixed (again) in + this patch. A bug in inviso_as_lib making remote + autostart config file updates fail has been fixed. + Inviso: inviso_tool has been given a flush API.

+
Inviso 0.5 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ The following bugs/improvements have been done: Internal + interworking between inviso_rt and inviso_rt_meta. The + call function used by inviso_rt to call inviso_rt_meta is + now protected with a monitor. Inviso_rt_meta now includes + the timestamp of the incoming meta trace message when + calling the call-callback. (Makes it possible to add a + "better" timestamp to the ti-file.) Bug in inviso_tool + making it not remove trace patterns when terminating. Bug + in internal function h_start_session making inviso_tool + crash if there were no active nodes to start the session + on. The user-inviso_tool and inviso API-inviso control + component request/response gen_server protocols had + default time-out. Since many trace operations can be time + consuming, a longer time-out is necessary. Improved + overload protection. It is now possible to let the + overload protection renew itself (e.g after an exit from + an external overload protector). Inviso_rt_meta now fully + uses the exception_trace match spec action term. Run + Trace Case API (as in contrast to activate and deactivate + trace case APIs) in inviso_tool. Flush trace-port API + added to inviso. Get_session_data API added to + inviso_tool. Improved inviso_tool:stop making it possible + to name nodes which shall not have their trace patterns + removed when inviso_tool terminates. Bug in handling of + writing multiple ti-entries if returned from a + call/return_from call-back in inviso_rt_meta Process + trace flags are no longer explicitly removed by the + inviso_tool when it terminates. Not necessary. + Inviso_tool get_autostart_data adopted to standard + autostarter.

+

+ *** INCOMPATIBILITY with Meta trace call-backs are called + with different arguments now. ***

Inviso 0.4 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ A bug in inviso_rt_meta caused an ETS table containing + information on initiated (init_tpm) functions to be lost + when suspending tracing. Further an enhancement to + inviso_rt has been introduced making it possible to + activate process trace flags based on globally registered + names. It is then not an error to activate a global name + on a node where the name does not reside. The process + count in the return value will simply be set to zero + (hence exactly one node in the NodeResult part of the + return value will indicate one matching process found). A + bug was found in fetch_log API. At the same time the + fetch_log functionality was enhanced to also offer flow + control making fetcher processes send chunks of + transferred file data at a slower pace.

+ +
Inviso 0.2 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ This ticket includes several improvements and bugfixes to + both runtime_tools and inviso. The overload mechanism can + now also react to incoming messages. This is useful if + an external overload watch-dog is used. Some improvements + of variable bindings has been done to the default + autostart mechanism - inviso_autostart_server. Autostart + "jobs" can now be done in parallel, allowing for some + jobs to hang waiting for some parts of the traced system + to become ready before proceeding. Previously when using + named meta-match-specs (tpm_ms) ending up with zero + match-specs still kept the meta trace pattern active. + This caused zero match-specs to be equal to unlimited + meta tracing on that particular function. If the internal + database becomes empty of meta match specs, meta trace + pattern is removed for that function. Standard public + loop data in the inviso runtime meta tracer process is + now extended to a 2-tuple. The functions ctp/1 and ctpl/1 + are added making it possible to remove trace patterns for + a list of functions rather than one by one. + Inviso_rt_meta will now accept a list of binaries to be + output into the trace information file, in additions to a + single binary. Further it is also possible to make own + output to the trace information file using the write_ti/1 + function. An error was discovered in inviso_rt making the + inviso_rt_meta remain rather than terminate if the + inviso_rt terminated due to "running alone" (not allowed + to run without a control component). A new tool, + inviso_tool, has been added to the inviso application.
