tokio-console API

🛰 Tonic bindings for the tokio-console protobuf wire format.

Website | Chat | API Documentation

Overview

This crate contains generated protobuf bindings for the tokio-console wire format. The wire format is used to export diagnostic data from instrumented applications to consumers that aggregate and display that data.

tokio-console is a debugging and profiling tool for asynchronous Rust applications, which collects and displays in-depth diagnostic data on the asynchronous tasks, resources, and operations in an application. The console system consists of two primary components:

• instrumentation, embedded in the application, which collects data from the async runtime and exposes it over the console's wire format
• consumers, such as the tokio-console command-line application, which connect to the instrumented application, receive telemetry data, and display it to the user

The wire format protobuf bindings in this crate are used by both the instrumentation in the console-subscriber crate, which emits telemetry in this format, and by the clients that consume that telemetry.

In general, most tokio-console users will not depend on this crate directly. Applications are typically instrumented using the console-subscriber crate, which collects data and exports it using this wire format; this data can be consumed using the tokio-console command-line application. However, the wire format API definition in this crate may be useful for anyone implementing other software that also consumes the tokio-console diagnostic data.

Stability

⚠️ The protobuf wire format is not currently considered totally stable. While we will try to avoid unnecessary protobuf-incompatible changes, protobuf compatibility is only guaranteed within SemVer-compatible releases of this crate. For example, the protobuf as of console-api v0.2.5 may not be backwards-compatible with console-api v0.1.12.

Crate Feature Flags

This crate provides the following feature flags:

• transport: Generate code that is compatible with Tonic's transport module (disabled by default)
