Performance measurement APIs

Table des matières

Ajouté en: v8.5.0

Stabilité: 2 - Stable

This module provides an implementation of a subset of the W3C Web Performance APIs as well as additional APIs for Node.js-specific performance measurements.

Node.js supports the following Web Performance APIs:

JS

M perf_hooks.performance

Ajouté en: v8.5.0

An object that can be used to collect performance metrics from the current Node.js instance. It is similar to window.performance in browsers.

M performance.clearMarks([name])

Ajouté en: v8.5.0

If name is not provided, removes all PerformanceMark objects from the Performance Timeline. If name is provided, removes only the named mark.

M performance.clearMeasures([name])

Ajouté en: v16.7.0

If name is not provided, removes all PerformanceMeasure objects from the Performance Timeline. If name is provided, removes only the named measure.

M performance.clearResourceTimings([name])

Ajouté en: v16.17.0

If name is not provided, removes all PerformanceResourceTiming objects from the Resource Timeline. If name is provided, removes only the named resource.

M performance.eventLoopUtilization([utilization1[, utilization2]])

Ajouté en: v14.10.0, v12.19.0

  • utilization1 Object The result of a previous call to eventLoopUtilization().
  • utilization2 Object The result of a previous call to eventLoopUtilization() prior to utilization1.
  • Returns Object

The eventLoopUtilization() method returns an object that contains the cumulative duration of time the event loop has been both idle and active as a high resolution milliseconds timer. The utilization value is the calculated Event Loop Utilization (ELU).

If bootstrapping has not yet finished on the main thread the properties have the value of 0. The ELU is immediately available on Worker threads since bootstrap happens within the event loop.

Both utilization1 and utilization2 are optional parameters.

If utilization1 is passed, then the delta between the current call's active and idle times, as well as the corresponding utilization value are calculated and returned (similar to process.hrtime()).

If utilization1 and utilization2 are both passed, then the delta is calculated between the two arguments. This is a convenience option because, unlike process.hrtime(), calculating the ELU is more complex than a single subtraction.

ELU is similar to CPU utilization, except that it only measures event loop statistics and not CPU usage. It represents the percentage of time the event loop has spent outside the event loop's event provider (e.g. epoll_wait). No other CPU idle time is taken into consideration. The following is an example of how a mostly idle process will have a high ELU.

JS

Although the CPU is mostly idle while running this script, the value of utilization is 1. This is because the call to child_process.spawnSync() blocks the event loop from proceeding.

Passing in a user-defined object instead of the result of a previous call to eventLoopUtilization() will lead to undefined behavior. The return values are not guaranteed to reflect any correct state of the event loop.

M performance.getEntries()

Ajouté en: v16.7.0

  • Returns: PerformanceEntry[]

Returns a list of PerformanceEntry objects in chronological order with respect to performanceEntry.startTime. If you are only interested in performance entries of certain types or that have certain names, see performance.getEntriesByType() and performance.getEntriesByName().

M performance.getEntriesByName(name[, type])

Ajouté en: v16.7.0

Returns a list of PerformanceEntry objects in chronological order with respect to performanceEntry.startTime whose performanceEntry.name is equal to name, and optionally, whose performanceEntry.entryType is equal to type.

M performance.getEntriesByType(type)

Ajouté en: v16.7.0

  • type string
  • Returns: PerformanceEntry[]

Returns a list of PerformanceEntry objects in chronological order with respect to performanceEntry.startTime whose performanceEntry.entryType is equal to type.

M performance.mark([name[, options]])

v8.5.0Ajouté en: v8.5.0
  • name string
  • options Object
    • detail any Additional optional detail to include with the mark.
    • startTime number An optional timestamp to be used as the mark time. Default: performance.now().

Creates a new PerformanceMark entry in the Performance Timeline. A PerformanceMark is a subclass of PerformanceEntry whose performanceEntry.entryType is always 'mark', and whose performanceEntry.duration is always 0. Performance marks are used to mark specific significant moments in the Performance Timeline.

The created PerformanceMark entry is put in the global Performance Timeline and can be queried with performance.getEntries, performance.getEntriesByName, and performance.getEntriesByType. When the observation is performed, the entries should be cleared from the global Performance Timeline manually with performance.clearMarks.

M performance.markResourceTiming(timingInfo, requestedUrl, initiatorType, global, cacheMode)

Ajouté en: v16.17.0

This property is an extension by Node.js. It is not available in Web browsers.

Creates a new PerformanceResourceTiming entry in the Resource Timeline. A PerformanceResourceTiming is a subclass of PerformanceEntry whose performanceEntry.entryType is always 'resource'. Performance resources are used to mark moments in the Resource Timeline.

The created PerformanceMark entry is put in the global Resource Timeline and can be queried with performance.getEntries, performance.getEntriesByName, and performance.getEntriesByType. When the observation is performed, the entries should be cleared from the global Performance Timeline manually with performance.clearResourceTimings.

  • startMarkOrOptions string | Object Optional.
    • detail any Additional optional detail to include with the measure.
    • duration number Duration between start and end times.

    • start number | string Timestamp to be used as the start time, or a string identifying a previously recorded mark.
  • endMark string Optional. Must be omitted if startMarkOrOptions is an Object.

Creates a new PerformanceMeasure entry in the Performance Timeline. A PerformanceMeasure is a subclass of PerformanceEntry whose performanceEntry.entryType is always 'measure', and whose performanceEntry.duration measures the number of milliseconds elapsed since startMark and endMark.

The startMark argument may identify any existing PerformanceMark in the Performance Timeline, or may identify any of the timestamp properties provided by the PerformanceNodeTiming class. If the named startMark does not exist, an error is thrown.

The optional endMark argument must identify any existing PerformanceMark in the Performance Timeline or any of the timestamp properties provided by the PerformanceNodeTiming class. endMark will be performance.now() if no parameter is passed, otherwise if the named endMark does not exist, an error will be thrown.

The created PerformanceMeasure entry is put in the global Performance Timeline and can be queried with performance.getEntries, performance.getEntriesByName, and performance.getEntriesByType. When the observation is performed, the entries should be cleared from the global Performance Timeline manually with performance.clearMeasures.

This property is an extension by Node.js. It is not available in Web browsers.

Creates an IntervalHistogram object that samples and reports the event loop delay over time. The delays will be reported in nanoseconds.

Using a timer to detect approximate event loop delay works because the execution of timers is tied specifically to the lifecycle of the libuv event loop. That is, a delay in the loop will cause a delay in the execution of the timer, and those delays are specifically what this API is intended to detect.
