(Requires Optional HP Caliper Software)
Advice is sorted with the most important items first and the list stops when the index value of an
item is below MIN_INDEX (default: 5.0) or MAX_COUNT (default: 15) items have been printed.
The MIN_COUNT (default: 5) argument sets the minimum amount of advice to report regardless of
the setting for MIN_INDEX.
--advice-details=
[all]|[[description][:improvement][:measurement]
[
:explanation][:rule]]
Specifies how much detail to report for each piece of advice (default:
all).
Each piece of advice may contain a brief description of what it is focused on (
description), a
suggestion for improving performance in this area (
improvement), additional performance meas-
urements which can be made to further explore this area (
measurement), a more detailed expla-
nation of what this performance area is (
explanation), and the name of the rule generating this
advice (
rule).
Most rules will not have all of these components. One or more of these can be given to limit what
gets reported.
--analysis-focus=
{[executable:]all|[executable:]NAME[
,[executable:]NAME] ...}
Specifies which executable program(s) to report on. By default, all (
all) executables which have
performance data in the given database(s) will be analyzed and a separate report produced for each.
To analyze only selected executables, list them by giving only their simple filename (no path infor-
mation).
--rule-files=RULEFILE1[,RULEFILE2]...
Specifies a list of files which contain the analysis rules to use (default:
default). Only the rule
files listed (and any rule files that they include) will be used.
Each RULEFILE can be either a relative path, an absolute path, or a simple filename. Simple file
names are first searched for in the current directory, then (if not found) in the user’s personal rules
directory (
˜/caliper_advisor
), and finally (if still not found) in the directory of the running
caliper (caliper_root /rules).
GUI Options
The command line options which affect the graphical user interface are:
--gui (Can also be specified with the -g option.)
Start the caliper GUI to interactively measure and explore performance data.
--jre Specify the location of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that will run the GUI. If
--jre is not specified, caliper will first check if the environment variable
JAVA_HOME is set to a JRE; if not, caliper will attempt to find a JRE via the
PATH
environment variable.
Information Options
The command line options which affect information-only runs are:
--cpu-counter=PARTIAL_COUNTER_NAME|KEYWORD|
all
(Can also be specified with the -c option.)
Specifies that information about the cpu counters which match the given (partial) name or keyword
be output.
The information fields to search are given with the
--search option.
The information fields to output are given with the
--report option. Use all to report on all cpu
counters.
The
--cpu-counter and --report options are mutually exclusive. If neither is given, then
--cpu-counter is assumed.
--detail={all|[name][:abbreviation][:category][:title][:description]}
(Can also be specified with the -d option.)
Specifies which information fields to include in cpu counter reports. It can be any combination of
name, abbreviation, category, title,ordescription; separated by colons or all.
Default:
name:abbreviation:title.
