similar problem => nearly everything that’s taking time on my site is in ‘other’. it’d be nice to be able to break this down.

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Building a DASH adaptor for .NET

Hi Chris,
We don’t currently have any support for .NET on Dash. In the near future we will have information out on how to create your own language packages. I will post that info here when we make it available.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Using Tuneup on non-HTML pages

Hi Patrik and Jereme,
We don’t currently have any plans to make these sorts of changes to TuneUp.
I will add your requests to our list for future reference.
Thanks and best regards,

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Using Tuneup on non-HTML pages

I echo this request. I have an actionwebservice powered 2.3.2 rails app. Since there’s no UI, I can’t see what tuneup is producing.
It would be nice if you could define a route that acts as a view for statistics.

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Building a DASH adaptor for .NET

I feel that your dash product would be perfect for the .NET sector and wonder if there is any information or support about that would help us get started with building such an adaptor. Where would be a good place to start. I have mailed via the contact us form, though I am unsure of the next steps.

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / can't start tuneup - command not found

Using Rails 2.0.1, gem installation went fine (apparently), and the gem is there in the gems > 1.8 folder. Installed version is 0.8.2, the default for a straight installation.
When, per instructions I run “fiveruns_tuneup ”, I get “command not found”. I’ve tried quitting the terminal, restarting.
Ideas?
——
one idea was to upgrade rails. Now at 2.3.2, and it appears it doesn’t work with this version? gem is installed and the environment.rb file is updated, but no evidence of the magic black bar.

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Using Tuneup on non-HTML pages

I have a rails application which processes lots of data and renders it in XML format. As these XML files get more and more complex, the speed has started to suffer. Is there any way of getting Tuneup to run on actions rendering XML?

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Rails 2.3.2 support?

I just tried it with 2.3.2.1 and no luck. Not really sure where to begin troubleshooting this one.

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Rails 2.3.2 support?

Has anyone seen TuneUp functional with Rails 2.3.2? Is there anything more than the 2.1+ TuneUp instructions necessary to get it going?
I’ve been trying to get it working with an existing application which was upgraded to Rails 2.3.2 and no luck with TuneUp.
Wondering if there was a conflict with another plugin, I tried with a clean slate by creating a brand new Rails 2.3.2 app, followed the 2.1+ TuneUp instructions, but still I see no bar in the browser.
I saw something in Git about Rails 2.3 support being expiramental. Maybe TuneUp isn’t ready yet.

Topic: FiveRuns Install / Hostname has already been taken

I’m just realizing, that I posted in the wrong forum!
Sorry, it should go in the FiveRuns Manage forum!

Topic: FiveRuns Install / Hostname has already been taken

I have two servers at two different locations for two different clients I’d like to monitor.
They both have the same hostname.
When registering the fiverun client at the second server, I get:
POST failed with code 500; Unable to create client: Validation failed: Hostname has already been taken
(Taken out of client.log)
I can’t easily change the hostname of any of those servers, therefore the question is, if there’s another way to work around this problem aka how can I register that second client?
Thanks!

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / TuneUp won't load

Hello,
Tuneup doesn’t seen to run when the Engines plugin is loaded. I had the same problem as you until I removed that plugin.

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / TuneUp Toolbar is displayed only sometimes

Hi,
I installed TuneUp nearly succesfully.
I’m running a Rails 2.2.2 environment.
The TuneUp Toolbar is displayed only on some pages.
No toolbar on localhost:3000/ but you can see it on localhost:3000/start
/ and /start is the same action.
Same problem over the whole app, you can see it on some pages, on others not.
Can you help me?
Kind regards…

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / How do I find what took time in "Other"

Several of the tasks that took a long time in the site I am profiling are categorized as “Other” and don’t link to any code. Is this just tasks that TuneUp is blind to? It would expect all time spent rendering to at least be attributable to a specific method call.
Thanks in advance,

Topic: FiveRuns Install / Install Problem - Shell command not added

I am trying to get fiveruns_tuneup working with Ruby 1.8.6(Patchlevel 111)/Rails 2.0.2./OSX 10.5.6
‘sudo gem install fiveruns_tuneup’ seems to work fine, but according to https://tuneup.fiveruns.com/help, the install should also add the fiveruns_tuneup command to the shell, and in my case it doesn’t seem to for some reason – I just get a “command not found” error.
I have tried closing and reopening the terminal window, to make sure the command is loaded.
I have tried going to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fiveruns_tuneup-0.8.18/bin and executing the fiveruns_tuneup script there with ’./fiveruns_tuneup /path/to/webapp’, but this gives the error ”./fiveruns_tuneup:15:in `readlines’: No such file or directory – ./../Manifest (Errno::ENOENT)”.
I always give it the full path to the webapp, not a relative path.
I also tried copying the fiveruns_tuneup folder to my vendor/plugins directory, and I do see output when I start the server (“FiveRuns TuneUp (v0.8.0): Starting…” etc, etc), but when I navigate to my application, I don’t see the information bar at the top, and I don’t see any fiveruns_tuneup code in the rendered html document, and I don’t see any information about it in the logs. I have also read where some other people mention that this plugin creates its own logfile – this isn’t happening in my app.
I imagine I am missing something simple, I just can’t figure out what it is. Any help is appreciated.

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / TuneUp won't load

Hi,
I’d like to evaluate fiveruns tuneup on my app, but it doesn’t load at all in my app. I’ve played with another existing app (rails 2.2.2), just by adding the “config.gem ‘fiveruns_tuneup’” to my environment.rb file, and it’s working quite well.
If I add the line to my current application (rails 2.2.2), tuneup doesn’t load, I don’t have any line regarding fiveruns or tuneup in the ./script/server output at startup, nor any log file created.
How can I trace the problem ? This app is using savage beast 2 and engines, maybe the issue is there.
thanks
Gravis

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / comparable processing times?

Hi giorgian,
The short answer is “probably not”, but let’s dig a little bit deeper. :) For these 50% swings in response time, are these for already-very-fast actions (less than 100ms)? If you watch the response times spit out to your Rails log, do you see the same fluctuations?

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / Simple trigger question

1. Go to Events > Triggers and Add a Trigger
2. Name the trigger and select Rails as the subsystem
3. On the next page, check the Enable box
4. Click the Add Condition button
5. From the list select Action: Total Processing Time (sec)
6. Then selected the operator > and add 5 to the value field.
7. Save the trigger
   You will start receiving notifications when any action takes longer than 5 seconds.
   Let us know if you have any other questions.
   Thanks,
   Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Stylesheet issue

The Tuneup element is not namespaced and assumes a dark background-color – it sets the font color to white. If you find that you can not see hrefs it may be because your css strong is not good for white.

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / Simple trigger question

Hi everyone,
I just read the trigger help section but am stuck on how to do a simple thing.
How do I create a trigger that creates an event when any controller action takes more than 5 seconds? I basically need to get alerted when any slow operations start to occur.
Thanks,
Graham

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / Rails 2.2.2 and Manage 1.1.0

And for the record, the Manage 1.1.0 plugin works with Rails 2.2.x but you will get a spurious warning message on startup. I just released 1.1.1 which fixes the issue.

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / Rails 2.2.2 and Manage 1.1.0

The latest Manage plugin does not have a file called “base_monitor.rb”. I suspect you have some old plugin code which needs to be removed.

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / Rails 2.2.2 and Manage 1.1.0

Any idea when Manage will compatible? It’s either not upgrade to 2.2 and keep manage, or lose manage and upgrade…

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / comparable processing times?

Hi,
I’ve just started using TuneUp, and in few minutes I was able to spot the bad part of my action.
So, now my app is already faster, but not fast enough.
My problem, now, is that TuneUp reports seem to be not comparable: the same action, with the same code and data, gives each time very different timing outputs, with up to 50% difference between fastest and slowest performs.
This doesn’t allow me to try changing something to see if it runs faster or slower.
Am I missing something?
I’m working in development mode, and with both my app and the db on the same machine, so I assume that things like OS stuff (disk caching and the like) may occur and generate noise, but I wonder if there’s a way to get more “stable” figures out of TuneUp.
Thank you
giorgian
