Specifying Which Load Modules to Collect Data For
HP Caliper allows you to restrict data collection to specific load modules. For example, you can
selectively include or exclude data collection for the main executable and any shared library.
Module inclusion or exclusion does not affect the measurements made through the PMU. Counting
and sampling still occurs when code is executed in excluded modules. However, the reports show
condensed data for those modules.
Three command-line options are available to specify inclusions and exclusions:
• --module-default
• --module-include
• --module-exclude
--module-default all|none allows you to specify the default setting for modules that are
not explicitly included or excluded with either
--module-include or --module-exclude.
You can provide either of these arguments:
all any module not explicitly excluded is included
none any module not explicitly included is excluded
If module-default is not present, the default is all.
--module-include
module_list
To explicitly include modules, specify a module_list.
A module_list is a list of module or directory names
separated by colons. For example:
--module-include libc:libcurses:liboci
or
--module-include /usr/lib/
--module-exclude
module_list
To explicitly include modules, specify a module_list.
A module_list is a list of module or directory names
separated by colons. For example:
--module-exclude libc:libcurses:liboci
or
--module-exclude /usr/lib/
Default Settings for Load Module Data Collection
HP Caliper uses these default settings:
