We have a new trace tool Molten, It's an OpenTracing supported tracer, for Distributed Tracing System.

我们开发了新的Trace工具 Molten， 它支持OpenTracing，用于分布式追踪系统。 Readme in Chinese 中文

phptrace is a low-overhead tracing tool for PHP.

It can trace all PHP executing, function calls, request information during run-time. And provides features like Filter, Statistics, Current Status and so on.

It is very useful to locate blocking, heavy-load problems and debug in all environments, especially in production environments.

Features:

• low-overhead, when extension loaded and trace is off
• stable, running on Qihoo 360 and tested on mainstream frameworks
• ease of use, view PHP run-time status without extension installation

Misc:

• PECL Download

News We have build another interesting project pika. It's a NoSQL compatible with Redis protocol with huge storage space.

Install from source

1. Extracting tarball

   bash复制

   tar -xf phptrace-{version}.tar.gz
   cd phptrace-{version}/extension

2. Build

   复制

   extension=trace.so

4. Verify

   复制

   php -r 'for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++) usleep(50000);' &
   phptrace -p $!

   You should see something below if it works fine
