The MooBench Monitoring Overhead Micro-Benchmark

Website: http://kieker-monitoring.net/MooBench

The MooBench micro-benchmarks can be used to quantify the performance overhead caused by monitoring framework components.

Currenly (fully) supported monitoring frameworks are:

• Kieker (http://kieker-monitoring.net)
• OpenTelemetry (https://opentelemetry.io/)

Benchmark Execution

Initially, the following steps are required:

1. Make sure, that you've installed R (http://www.r-project.org/) to generate the results , awk to install intermediate results and curl to download processing tools (Ubuntu: sudo apt install r-base gawk curl).
2. Compile the application by calling ./gradlew assemble.

All experiments are started with the provided "External Controller" scripts. The following scripts are available

• for Kieker: In frameworks/Kieker/scripts/benchmark.sh for regular execution and frameworks/Kieker/scripts/runExponentialSizes.sh for execution of different call tree depth sizes
• for OpenTelemetry: frameworks/OpenTelemetry/benchmark.sh for regular execution and frameworks/OpenTelemetry/runExponentialSizes.sh for execution of different call tree depth sizes
• for inspectIT: frameworks/inspectIT/benchmark.sh for regular execution and frameworks/inspectIT/runExponentialSizes.sh for execution of different call tree depth sizes
