Chime Comment/Questions
Posted:

I just want to say that Chime is one nifty tool. This seems like just right thing to help making DTrace easier.
Thinking from a Solaris point of view, much of this seems like it would fit well in to smc. Have there been any thoughts of turning this into a plugin for smc? (That is if smc hasn’t been obsoleted) That framework would probably help with server security.
Is the Chime team able/willing to take community contributions? I have some ideas on how to improve the user interface. I think it would be great if there was a framework to allow developers to easily added new DTrace programs.

I concur. Maybe we can all chip in money and beer (or pop if he doesn't
drink alcohol) to get Brendan to integrate his toolkit with chime. :)

Oh, I certainly drink beer (especially since I'm Australian and did
Engineering at Uni :). Although, if I'm coding, I'm better off drinking
coffee!
I'm currently putting together another server to run build-39/SPARC, so
that I can play with Chime.
I'm certainly interested in creating DTrace GUIs. Done properly, they can
focus on what data is actually important, present it in visually intuitive
ways, and provide immediate documentation to assist interpretation...

Thanks Bill, glad to hear it.

That would be fantastic. I should point out that it is already easy to
add new DTrace programs if you don't mind editing XML by hand (maybe not
so easy). I'm going to add a document soon that covers all the XML
properties used to describe a new display. I'll send out the link as
soon as I have it ready (sometime next week). The document should make
it easier to talk about the framework you're proposing.
