What's New in ElectricInsight?

ElectricInsight version 3.2 can connect to in-flight ElectricAccelerator builds and display jobs as they execute, showing exactly what commands are being processed on the cluster and letting the user instantly assess build progress. Data visualization is also improved with a new heuristic job classifier, which groups targets by primary tasks and enables better analysis of build performance, and additional reporting features exposing both build content and structure.

New features and enhancements include:

  • Runtime build monitor features with real-time as well as after-the-fact analysis options:
    • ElectricInsight can monitor a running Electric Make build, allowing you to view its progress and get instantaneous information about what commands each agent is executing.
    • Completed builds can be replayed to simulate or analyze execution order.
  • New and enhanced reports provide additional insight into software build performance:
    • New: Build manifest - lists all files that were read and/or written by the build.
    • New: Jobs by agent - lists the number of jobs run by each agent in the build.
    • New: Jobs by file - lists which jobs read or wrote a particular file.
    • Enhanced: Longest serial chain report - now enables you to display the longest serial chain leading to a specific job.
