Beyond the trace: Pinpointing performance culprits with continuous profiling and distributed tracing correlation
Now that we have the offset, how do we use that to actually read the data that the library puts there for us? This brings us back to the magic fs: portion of the mov instruction that we discussed earlier. In X86, most memory operands can optionally be supplied with a segment register that influences the address translation.Segments are an archaic construct from the early days … [Read more...] about Beyond the trace: Pinpointing performance culprits with continuous profiling and distributed tracing correlation
Charting New Territory: OpenTelemetry Embraces Profiling
The topic of continuous profiling has been an ongoing discussion in the observability world for some time. I said back in 2021 that profiling was set to be the next major telemetry signal in observability, and in fact, since then there’s been growing interest in profiles. Startups and large observability vendors have gotten into this domain. A significant recent step was when … [Read more...] about Charting New Territory: OpenTelemetry Embraces Profiling
What is Elastic Universal Profiling? A continuous profiling solution for all
Universal Profiling is multilanguage. We support all of today’s popular programming languages, including Python, Go, Java (and any other JVM-based languages), Ruby, NodeJS, PHP, Perl, and of course, C and C++, which is critical since these languages still underly so many third-party libraries used by the other languages. In addition, we support profiling native code a.k.a. … [Read more...] about What is Elastic Universal Profiling? A continuous profiling solution for all
Continuous Profiling: A New Observability Signal
We’ve all grown used to logs, metrics and traces serving as the “three pillars of observability.” And indeed they are very important telemetry signals. But are they indeed the sum of the observability game? Not at all. In fact, one of the key trends in observability is moving beyond the ‘three pillars:These three pillars continue to be critically important. But it’s important … [Read more...] about Continuous Profiling: A New Observability Signal
