regexp

Parses the log to match the regular expression
By default, the following named capture groups are parsed:
- time
  - datetime
- method
  - HTTP Method
- uri
  - URI
- status
  - HTTP Status Code
- response_time
  - Response time from the upstream server
- request_time
  - Request Processing Time (Response time after receiving a request)
The --xxx-subexp option can you change the name to any named capture groups

pcap

Parses the pcap file to extract HTTP request/response packets to analyze the stats
- Note that the actual response time may time duration from the actual response time because the difference in the timestamp of packet capturing is regarded as the real response time
- The IP address and TCP port number of the server are required to distinguish between HTTP requests/responses to the server
Able to specify the IP address of the HTTP server with the --pcap-server-ip option
- This option can be specified more than once
- By default, it automatically obtains the IP address from the network interfaces of its own host and uses it
- However, 127.0.0.1 and ::1 will be the defaults in environments where permissions to retrieve network interface information are restricted.
Able to specify the TCP port of the HTTP server with the --pcap-server-port option
- The default server port number is 80.
Cannot be used with --pos. (not yet supported)

Global options

See: Usage samples

-c, --config
- The configuration file
- YAML
--file=FILE
- The access log file
-d, --dump=DUMP
- File path for creating the profile results to a file
-l, --load=LOAD
- File path to read the results of the profile created with the -d, --dump option
- Can expect it to work fast if you change the --sort and --reverse options for the same profile results
--sort=count
- Output the results in sorted order
- Sort in ascending order
- max, min, sum, avg
- max-body, min-body, sum-body, avg-body
- p90, p95, p99, stddev
- uri
- method
- count
- The default is count
- p90, p95, and p99 are modified by the values specified in --percentiles
-r, --reverse
- Sort in desecending order
-q, --query-string
- URIs up to and including query strings are included in the profile
--qs-ignore-values
- Ignore the value of the query string
- It's not enabled unless use with -q, --query-string
--decode-uri
- Decode the URI
--format=table
- Print the profile results in a table, Markdown, TSV, CSV and HTML format
- The default is table format
--noheaders
- Print no header when TSV and CSV format
--show-footers
- Print the total number of each 1xx ~ 5xx in the footer of the table or Markdown format
--limit=5000
- Maximum number of profile results to be printed
- This setting is to avoid using too much memory
- The default is 5000 lines
--location="Local"
- The timezone of the time specified in the filter condition.
- Default is localhost timezone
-o, --output="all"
- Specify the profile results to be print, separated by commas
- count,1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, method, uri, min, max, sum, avg, p90, p95, p99, stddev, min_body, max_body, sum_body, avg_body
  - p90, p95, and p99 are modified by the values specified in --percentiles
- The default is all
-m, --matching-groups=PATTERN,...
- Treat URIs that match regular expressions as the same URI
- Evaluate in the specified order. If matched, no further evaluation is performed.
- See URI matching groups
-f, --filters=FILTERS
- Filters the targets for profile
- See Filter
--pos=POSITION_FILE
- Stores the number of bytes to which the file has been read.
- If the number of bytes is stored in the POSITION_FILE, the data after that number of bytes will be profiled
- You can profile without truncating the file
  - Also, it is expected to work fast because it seeks and skips files
--nosave-pos
- Data after the number of bytes specified by --pos is profiled, but the number of bytes reads is not stored
--percentiles
- Specifies the percentile values to output, separated by commas
- The default is 90,95,99

URI matching groups

Consider the following cases like /diary/entry/1234 and /diary/entry/5678. If you simply profile URIs with different parameters on the same route, they will be profiled by parameter, but you may want to profile them by the route.

In such a case, there is an option -m, --matching-groups=PATTERN,.... You can also specify multiple items separated by commas.

Filter

It is a function to include or exclude targets according to the conditions.

Variables

Status
- HTTP Status Code

Operators

The following operators are available:.

+, -, *, /, %, **(pow)
==, !=, <, >, <=, >=
not, !
and, &&
or, ||
matches
- e.g.
  - Uri matches "PATTERN"
  - not(Uri matches "PATTERN")
contains
- e.g.
  - Uri contains "STRING"
  - not(Uri contains "STRING")
startsWith
- e.g.
  - Uri startsWith "PREFIX"
  - not(Uri startsWith "PREFIX")
endsWith
- e.g.
  - Uri endsWith "SUFFIX"

Functions

TimeAgo(duration)
- now - duration
- ns, us or µs, ms, s, m, h
- e.g.
  - Time >= TimeAgo("5m")
BetweenTime(val, start, end)
- Like SQL's BETWEEN, returns start <= val && val <= end
