Analyzer socket-send-recv-message

# Name

socket-send-recv-message - Socket Send/Recv Message Flame Graph

This analyzer profiles socket send and receive operations across all applications. It captures stack traces during socket I/O operations, tracking both data transmission and reception at the system call level. The analyzer generates flame graphs that visualize the call paths leading to socket operations, helping identify network I/O patterns, inefficient data transfer operations, and potential bottlenecks in network communication. This is useful for diagnosing network performance issues and understanding application-level socket usage patterns.

# Resource Category

Network I/O.

# Application Type & Technical Stack

• All

# Command Line Syntax

The analyzer can be invoked directly on the command-line via the orxray utility from the openresty-xray-cli software package.

Alternatively, the analyzer can also be invoked manually or automatically on the web console UI of OpenResty XRay (like on the Advanced web page).

# PID is the target process PID.
orxray analyzer run socket-send-recv-message -p PID

# trace a shell command directly
orxray analyzer run socket-send-recv-message -c SHELL_CMD

# PGID is the process group ID or any process's PID within the target process
# group.
orxray analyzer run socket-send-recv-message -p -PGID

# trace any processes started from the specified executable path.
orxray analyzer run socket-send-recv-message --exe /path/to/exe/file

# Tracing Multiple Processes

Supported.
