# fdbcstat
`fdbcstat` is a FoundationDB client monitoring tool which collects and displays transaction operation statistics inside the C API library (`libfdb_c.so`).
## How it works
`fdbcstat` utilizes [eBPF/bcc](https://github.com/iovisor/bcc) to attach to `libfdb_c.so` shared library and insert special instructions to collect statistics in several common `fdb_transaction_*` calls, then it periodically displays the aggregated statistics.
## How to use
### Syntax
`fdbcstat <full path to libfdb_c.so> <options...>`
### Options
- `-p` or `--pid` : Only capture statistics for the functions called by the specified process
- `-i` or `--interval` : Specify the time interval in seconds between 2 outputs (Default: 1)
- `-d` or `--duration` : Specify the total duration in seconds `fdbcstats` will run (Default: Unset / Forever)
- `-f` or `--functions` : Specify the comma-separated list of functions to monitor (Default: Unset / All supported functions)
### Supported Functions
- get
- get_range
- get_read_version
- set
- clear
- clear_range
- commit
### Examples
##### Collect all statistics and display every second
`fdbcstat /usr/lib64/libfdb_c.so`
##### Collect all statistics for PID 12345 for 60 seconds with 10 second interval
`fdbcstat /usr/lib64/libfdb_c.so -p 12345 -d 60 -i 10`
##### Collect statitics only for get and commit
`fdbcstat /usr/lib64/libfdb_c.so -f get,commit`
## Output Format
Each line contains multiple fields. The first field is the timestamp. Other fields are the statistics for each operation. Each operation field contains the following statistics in a slash (/) separated format.
- Function
- Number of calls per second
- Average latency in microseconds (us)
- Maximum latency in microseconds (us)
**Note**: The latency is computed as the time difference between the start time and the end time of the `fdb_transaction_*` function call except for `get`, `get_range`, `get_read_version` and `commit`. For those 4 functions, the latency is the time difference between the start time of the function and the end time of the following `fdb_future_block_until_ready` call.
