Truncated, Signal, Visitor Trace, Watch Thread
Explore key software trace and log analysis patterns such as truncated data, signals, visitor traces, and watch threads. Learn how these patterns help in filtering noise, detecting anomalies, and enhancing live tracing and debugging. Understand how they aid in correlating data and observing computational activity independently from original source code.
We'll cover the following...
Truncated data
The data in individual messages and state dump message blocks may be truncated. This is similar to visibility limit at the log message level. When data values are sorted and resorted, “hidden” data may replace previously “visible” data and vice versa, as shown in the following diagram:
Signal
According to the definition by Michael Robinson, “A signal consists of a collection of related measurements.”
