Detailed Description

util/tracing

This directory contains the source code for utilities that are standalone executables for post-processing tracing data created by the tracing function in Lingua Franca.

Utilities for visualizing the data are contained in the visualization directory.

• trace_to_csv: Creates a comma-separated values text file from a binary trace file. The resulting file is suitable for analyzing in spreadsheet programs such as Excel.
• trace_to_chrome: Creates a JSON file suitable for importing into Chrome's trace visualizer. Point Chrome to chrome://tracing/ and load the resulting file.
• trace_to_influxdb: A preliminary implementation that takes a binary trace file and uploads its data into InfluxDB.
• fedsd: A utility that converts trace files from a federate into sequence diagrams showing the interactions between federates and the RTI.

Installing

sudo make install

Will install the tracing executables to the bin directory under /usr/local/. To install them to a different location, use the INSTALL_PREFIX flag, e.g.

make install INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local/

which will install the executables under ~/.local/bin/.
