etop should be started with the provided scripts
etop and getop for text based and graphical
presentation respectively. Under Windows the batch files
etop.bat and getop.bat can be used.
All interaction with etop when running the graphical
presentation should happen via the menus. For the text based
presentation the functions described below can be used.
The following configuration parameters exist for etop.
true the execution time and reductions are
accumulated.
false
runtime | reductions | memory | msg_q
runtime (reductions if
tracing=off)
etop uses the erlang trace facility, and thus no
other tracing is possible on the measured node while
etop is running, unless this option is set to
off. Also helpful if the etop tracing causes too
high load on the measured node. With tracing off, runtime is
not measured.
on | off
on
Types:
Result = ok | {error,Reason}
Key = lines | interval | accumulate | sort
Value = term()
This function is used to change the tool's configuration parameters during runtime. The table above indicates the allowed values for each parameter.
Types:
Result = ok | {error,Reason}
File = string()
This function dumps the current display to a text file.
