Module: GraphQL::Tracing::PerfettoTrace

Defined in:
lib/graphql/tracing/perfetto_trace.rb,
lib/graphql/tracing/perfetto_trace/trace_pb.rb

Overview

This produces a trace file for inspecting in the Perfetto Trace Viewer.

To get the file, call #write on the trace.

Use “trace modes” to configure this to run on command or on a sample of traffic.

Examples:

Writing trace output


result = MySchema.execute(...)
result.query.trace.write(file: "tmp/trace.dump")

Running this instrumenter when trace: true is present in the request


class MySchema < GraphQL::Schema
  # Only run this tracer when `context[:trace_mode]` is `:trace`
  trace_with GraphQL::Tracing::Perfetto, mode: :trace
end

# In graphql_controller.rb:

context[:trace_mode] = params[:trace] ? :trace : nil
result = MySchema.execute(query_str, context: context, variables: variables, ...)
if context[:trace_mode] == :trace
  result.trace.write(file: ...)
end

#write(file:, debug_json: false) ⇒ nil, ...

Dump protobuf output in the specified file.

Parameters:

  • file (String)

    path to a file in a directory that already exists

  • debug_json (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    True to print JSON instead of binary

Returns:

  • (nil, String, Hash)

    If file was given, nil. If file was nil, a Hash if debug_json: true, else binary data.
