benchmarking of policy evaluation

[robu...@gmail.com]

hi all,

is there any way to benchmark the time it takes to evaluate each bundle

or even promise?

Our "multi-auhtor" policy has grown quite large and I would like to check

who uses up the most "time" in evaluation/execution

both in cf-promises and cf-agent

TIA & best regards

P.S.: this is for  "CFEngine Core 3.7.6" (community edition)

Have you tried cf-profile?

Nope, haven't seen that yet,

thnx a lot for quick reply,

will try it now

Also note the  

  --timing-output, -t       - Output timing information on console when in verbose mode

  --timestamp   , -l   - Log timestamps on each line of log output

 --debug --log-modules=all

options to cf-agent to add more logging and timestamps to the logs which can help you determine where the time consuming parts are.

thnx, but:

--timing-output, -t

doesn't do anything, even not in verbose mode

--log-modules=all

cf-agent: unrecognized option '--log-modules=all'

(# cf-agent --version

CFEngine Core 3.7.6)

but cf-profile.pl looks ... promising ;-)
