A new version of Blowhole, the second alpha of RouteMap, and a complete tutorial toolkit to help you get started using log Signposts from Sierra to Mojave.
Signposts
Do you want to measure performance or get other info from your app or script? Using Signposts is ideal, and here’s the first glimpse of a new tool to harvest them.
A detailed exploration of how to use Signposts to investigate performance of your code, and the limitations of Apple’s tools.
New tools for developers, scripters, and anyone who performs demanding tasks with their Mac(s).
If you’re running Mojave and using a scripting language which can’t itself access Signposts, Blowhole now gives you access to them.
The fields stored in the log have changed across Sierra and High Sierra. Analyse them on the wrong system, and you could lose content without being aware of it.
Support for the unified log’s new features in both High Sierra and Mojave, including Signposts and performance analysis. Now, and free.
Changes include an additional output text format, display log since the last boot, and support for Mojave’s Signposts is already present and being used by Apple.
After 2 years, developers should be able to use the unified log for performance analysis, thanks to extensions and Xcode’s Instruments. Sysadmins and users remain neglected, though.
