Instance Attribute Details

#annotationsObject (readonly)

As we go through a part of a request, instrumentation can store additional data Known Keys:

:record_count - The number of rows returned by an AR query (From notification instantiation.active_record)
:class_name   - The ActiveRecord class name (From notification instantiation.active_record)

If no annotations are ever set, this will return nil

# File 'lib/scout_apm/layer.rb', line 47

def annotations
  @annotations
end

#backtraceObject (readonly)

If this layer took longer than a fixed amount of time, store the backtrace of where it occurred.

# File 'lib/scout_apm/layer.rb', line 39

def backtrace
  @backtrace
end

#descObject

The description of this layer. Will contain additional details specific to the type of layer. For an ActiveRecord metric, it will contain the SQL run For an outoing HTTP call, it will contain the remote URL accessed Leave blank if there is nothing to note

# File 'lib/scout_apm/layer.rb', line 35

def desc
  @desc
end

#nameObject

Name: a more specific name of this single item

Examples: "Rack::Cache", "User#find", "users/index", "users/index.html.erb"

Accessor, so we can update a layer if multiple pieces of instrumentation work

together at different layers to fill in the full data. See the ActiveRecord
instrumentation for an example of how this is useful

#typeObject (readonly)

Examples: "Middleware", "ActiveRecord", "Controller", "View"

# File 'lib/scout_apm/layer.rb', line 64

def add_child(child)
  @children ||= LayerChildrenSet.new

end

#annotate_layer(hsh) ⇒ Object

This data is internal to ScoutApm, to add custom information, use the Context api.

def annotate_layer(hsh)

  @annotations.merge!(hsh)
end

#caller_arrayObject

In Ruby 2.0+, we can pass the range directly to the caller to reduce the memory footprint.

def capture_backtrace!
  @backtrace = caller_array
end

#childrenObject

An array of children layers For instance, if we are in a middleware, there will likely be only a single child, which is another middleware. In a Controller, we may have a handful of children: [ActiveRecord, ActiveRecord, View, HTTP Call].

This useful to get actual time spent in this layer vs. children time

TODO: Check callers for compatibility w/ nil to avoid making an empty array

#legacy_metric_nameObject

This is the old style name. This function is used for now, but should be removed, and the new type & name split should be enforced through the app.

end

#record_allocations!Object

Fetch the current number of allocated objects. This will always increment - we fetch when initializing and when stopping the layer.

#to_sObject

#total_allocationsObject

These are almost identical to the timing metrics.
