Start and Stop Platform Profiler Collector

(Linux*)

Source

vpp-collect-vars.sh

.

source <vtune_install_dir>/vpp/collector/vpp-collect-vars.sh

This sets up the environment by putting commands in the path.

Start data collection:

vpp-collect start

Tip:

When starting a collection, use the

-c

option to add a comment to your result file. The comment is visible after you upload the result. Comments can help differentiate between results collected on the same system. For example, you can use comments to add a description of your workload.

When the collection is running, add timeline markers to your result at intervals where you need them:

vpp-collect mark "comment"

You can use a comment to add an optional label to your timeline marker.

Stop data collection:

vpp-collect stop
