Feature Request? Erlang's processes/0, process_info/1 and /2

[Michael Warnock]

Greetings,

I've been trying to see how to get the equivalent of this functionality out of quasar, and I don't currently see how (I'm not great at reading java though).  I found it indispensable for debugging actors in erlang, and find its absence in pulsar/quasar odd; is there an architectural/philosophical reason for it?  If not, I'll happily add it; I hope someone could give me a pointer on where to start, though.

Thanks,

~Michael

Hi.

This functionality is covered by Quasar's MBeans (see JMX, Java's standard monitoring API). See here for how to get information similar to processes/0; process_info is available for registered actors. Connect to a JVM running actors with VisualVM and you can explore the relevant MBeans.
