ElectricInsight — Product Details

ElectricInsight® provides powerful, at-a-glance software build diagnostics. How does it do that?

Traditionally, finding out why a build slowed down, why a build broke, or which files were dependent on others was a time-consuming, manual task. But now, the ElectricInsight tool graphically depicts how the build is structured and run, empowering build managers to pinpoint performance problems or conflicts in a parallel build.

ElectricInsight mines the information produced by Electric Make®, the job distribution engine behind ElectricAccelerator®, to provide an easy-to-understand, graphical representation of the build structure for performance analysis.

It provides detailed information and reports on each job on each node of the build cluster, helping users identify which jobs are being performed, when, and with what files for at-a-glance diagnostics. With a single click, see exactly where dependencies lie. Run a report — are there any unnecessary serializations? Are jobs running locally that could be run on the cluster? With this insight you can get the best possible performance out of your build environment.

Instead of manually pouring over tens of thousands of lines of information in a build output file, error detection and performance tuning that once took hours or days can now be done in seconds. With ElectricInsight you can quickly pinpoint opportunities for better builds.
