<p>
The Performance Event Monitoring feature uses Solaris DTrace or
Linux SystemTap to "publish" interesting events as they occur
inside of Berkeley DB.
The operating system utilities <span class="command"><strong>dtrace</strong></span> or
<span class="command"><strong>stap</strong></span> run scripts which select, analyze,
and display events. There is no need to modify the application.
Any application which uses that Berkeley DB library can be monitored.
For more information about these instrumentation tools refer to the
following pages:

<p>
Performance Event Monitoring is available for operating systems where
DTrace or SystemTap supports static probe points in user applications,
such as Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris, some versions of Linux,
and Mac OS X 10.6 and later.
By including --enable-dtrace to the configuration options, the resulting
libraries will include probe points for these event categories:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
database operations: opening a database or
cursor, get, put, delete.
</li>
<li>
internal operations regarding disk allocation, transactions,
concurrency control, and caching.
</li>
<li>
the beginning and ending of waiting periods due to conflicting
transactional consistency locks (for example, page locks),
mutexes, or shared latches.
</li>
<li>
timing dependent code paths which are expected to be infrequent.
These could raise concerns if they were to happen too often.
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
These probe points are implemented as user-level statically defined traces
(USDT's) for DTrace, and static userspace markers for SystemTap.
</p>
<p>
To monitor the statistics values as they are updated include
the --enable-perfmon-statistics configuration option.
This option generates probe points for updates to many of the counters
whose values are displayed by the db_stat utility
or returned by the various statistics functions.
The "cache" example script uses a few of these probe points.
</p>
<p>
Performance Event Monitoring is intended to be suitable for production
applications. Running Berkeley DB with DTrace or SystemTap support
built in has little effect on execution speed until probes are enabled
at runtime by the <span class="command"><strong>dtrace</strong></span>
or <span class="command"><strong>stap</strong></span> programs.
</p>
<p>
The list of available events may be displayed by running 'make listprobes'
after building the libdb-5.1 shared library.

<h3 class="title"><a id="program_perfmon_dtrace"></a>Using the DTrace Provider</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The DTrace probe provider for Berkeley DB is named 'bdb'. A simple
dtrace command to monitor all dtrace-enabled Berkeley DB activity
in the system is:
</p>
<p>
<code class="code">
dtrace -Zn 'bdb*::: { printf("%s", probename); }'
</code>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
DTrace requires elevated privileges in order to run. On Solaris you can
avoid running as root by giving any users who need to run
<span class="command"><strong>dtrace</strong></span> the dtrace_proc or dtrace_user
privilege in <span class="command"><strong>/etc/user_attr</strong></span>.
</p>
<p>
DTrace works on both 32 and 64 bit applications. However, when tracing
a 32-bit application on a 64-bit processor it might be necessary to pass
a "32 bit" option to <span class="command"><strong>dtrace</strong></span>. Without this option
the D language might use a pointer size of 8 bytes, which could cause
pointer values (and structures containing them) to be processed incorrectly.
Use the <code class="code">-32</code> option on Solaris; on Mac OS X use <code class="code">-arch i386</code>.
</p>

<h3 class="title"><a id="program_perfmon_stap"></a>Using SystemTap</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
SystemTap looks up its static userspace markers in the library name
specified in the <span class="command"><strong>stap</strong></span> script.
A simple <span class="command"><strong>stap</strong></span> command to list the probes
of the default Berkeley DB installation is:
</p>
<p>
<code class="code">
stap -l 'process("/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/lib/libdb-5.1.so").mark("*")'
</code>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Berkeley DB supports SystemTap version 1.1 or later. Building with
userspace marker support requires <code class="filename">sys/sdt.h</code>,
which is often available in the package <code class="filename">systemtap-sdt-devel</code>.
Running <span class="command"><strong>stap</strong></span> with userspace markers requires that the
kernel have "utrace" support; see
<a class="ulink" href="http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace" target="_top">http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace</a> for more information.
</p>
<p>
SystemTap needs elevated privileges in order to run. You can avoid running as
root by adding the users who need to run <span class="command"><strong>stap</strong></span>
to the group stapdev.

<h3 class="title"><a id="program_perfmon_examples"></a>Example Scripts</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Berkeley DB includes several example scripts, in both DTrace and SystemTap versions.
The DTrace examples end with a <code class="filename">.d</code> suffix and are located in
<code class="filename">util/dtrace</code>. The SystemTap examples have a
<code class="filename">.stp</code> suffix and can found be in
<code class="filename">util/systemtap</code>. The Berkeley DB shared library name,
including any necessary path,
is expected as the first parameter to the SystemTap examples.
</p>
<div class="variablelist">
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">apicalls</span>
</dt>
<dd>
This script graphs the count of the main API calls. The result
is grouped by thread of the target process.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">apitimes</span>
</dt>
<dd>
This script graphs the time spent in the main API calls,
grouped by thread.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term"> apitrace </span>
</dt>
<dd>
This script displays the entry to and return from each of the
main API calls.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term"> cache </span>
</dt>
<dd>
This script displays overall and per-file buffer cache statistics
every <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> (default: 1) seconds for
<span class="emphasis"><em>M</em></span> (default: 60) intervals.
It prints the number of cache hits, misses, and evictions for
each file with any activity during the interval.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term"> dbdefs</span>
</dt>
<dd>
This contains DTrace-compatible declarations of Berkeley DB
data structures returned from probe points.
There is no Linux equivalent; SystemTap can obtain type
information directly from the debugging symbols compiled
into the libdb*-5.1.so shared library.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term"> locktimes </span>
</dt>
<dd>
This script graphs the time spent waiting for DB page locks.
The result times in nanoseconds are grouped by filename,
pgno, and lock_mode. The optional integer maxcount parameter
directs the script to exit once that many page lock waits
have been measured.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term"> locktimesid </span>
</dt>
<dd>
This is similar to the locktimes script above, except that it displays
the 20 byte file identifier rather than the file name. This can be
useful when there are several environments involved, or when database
files are recreated during the monitoring period.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term"> mutex </span>
</dt>
<dd>
This script measures mutex wait periods, summarizing the results two ways.
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li>
The first grouping is by mutex, mode (exclusive or shared),
and thread id.
</li><li>
The second grouping is by the mutex category and
mode (exclusive or shared).
The mutex categories are the MTX_XXX definitions in
<code class="filename">dbinc/mutex.h</code>.
</li></ul></div></dd>
<dt>
<span class="term"> showerror </span>
</dt>
<dd>
This script displays the application stack when the basic error
routines are called. It provides additional information about
an error, beyond the string sent to the diagnostic output.
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
These examples are designed to trace a single process. They run until
interrupted, or the monitored process exits, or the limit as given
in an optional 'maximum count' argument has been reached.
