.TH weblatency.d 1m "Nov 30, 2005" "version 0.60" "USER COMMANDS" .SH NAME weblatency.d \- website latency statistics. Uses DTrace. .SH SYNOPSIS .B weblatency.d .SH DESCRIPTION This prints statistics for hostnames that browers have set GET requests for, in particular latency by hostname. The latency measured is from the browser sending the GET request to when the browser begins to recieve the response. It is an overall response time for the client, and encompasses connection speed delays, DNS lookups, proxy delays, and web server response time. This is written as an experimental tool, and may not work at all with your browser. Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command. .SH EXAMPLES .TP Print report after Ctrl-C is hit, # .B weblatency.d .PP .SH FIELDS .TP HOST hostname from URL .TP NUM number of GETs .TP AVGTIME(ms) Average time for response, ms .TP MAXTIME(ms) Maximum time for response, ms .PP .SH NOTES See the source code for the "BROWSER" variable, which sets the browser to trace (currently set to "mozilla-bin"). .PP .SH IDEA Bryan Cantrill (who wrote an elegant version for Sol 10 update 1) .PP .SH DOCUMENTATION See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with verbose descriptions explaining the output. .SH EXIT weblatency.d will sample until Ctrl\-C is hit. .SH AUTHOR Brendan Gregg [Sydney, Australia] .SH SEE ALSO dtrace(1M)
