Custom probes

[peter veentjer]

Is it possible to create your own probes? It would be nice if we could feed info into yourkit next to the already measured info like memory usage. So we can have a single system with everything nice together.

What kind of information do you want to measure?

Please consider the probes:

as well as triggers:

Kind of info:

operations/second (in memory data grid).

For more advanced things like latency we'll probably use something different. I think that the probes are what we are looking for. Thanks.

In addition to probes, please consider triggers, as they are much simpler to start working with. In particular, you may use trigger on method invocation with PrintMessage action which offers a rich set of macros.
