Re: [MirageOS-devel] Tracing and profiling blog post

[Thomas Gazagnaire <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the blog post, as usual it was great to read :-)

To add other related work to the pile of related work, I quite like the 
approach of 
https://blog.twitter.com/2012/distributed-systems-tracing-with-zipkin
They use sampling to only enable full profiling on a per-request basis. They 
have turn-on/off profiling for the various components and the have a way to 
track and relate profiling information across multiple components.

For sure having something simple is *much* better than having nothing at all, 
but if we go to something more sophisticated later, zipkin sounds quite neat. 
(not sure if they have a standardize format for tracing/profiling info though)
