Written primarily to profile erlang based components within Couchbase.
Traditional profiling tools(eprof/fprof) in Erlang are painful and
often make Erlang VM to crawl. dtrace adds very small(mostly unnoticeable so far for me),
and helps glean info about GC, scheduler, function entry/return, mem, cpu,
message pass etc.
Overtime, I’ll keep pushing relevant D scripts in here. (Would also create another repo for capturing similar stuff using SystemTap on Linux)
Note: DTrace is currently supported on Mac, NetBSD/OpenBSD and Solaris platform
