The Instrumentation Record Language (IRL) has been developed since 2013 as a central element of Kieker and an approach for model-driven instrumentation. Both required a declarative and compact model to specify record structures for monitoring. Continue reading
Kieker’s Development in Five Minutes – 1.10
Using the tool Gource, we created a nice visualization showing the development of Kieker in only five minutes until the release of 1.10. The video contains parts of our Git history and shows not only how the project has grown since 2008, but also how many different developers already contributed to the project.
Thanks to Fenil Conic (@fenilconic) for the music (Hollywood Reality 3).
Kieker 1.10 released
We released version 1.10 of our Kieker framework for application performance monitoring and dynamic software analysis: https://kieker-monitoring.net/
CfC/CfPart: Descartes/Kieker/Palladio Days 2014
As a follow-up event of our successful meetings in 2012 and 2013, we will organize the 2014 Symposium on Software Performance in Stuttgart, Germany on November 26-28. It will be a joint meeting of the Descartes, Kieker, and Palladio communities.
In addition to invited talks from practitioners and researchers, we welcome contributions from academic, scientific, or industrial contexts in the field of software performance, including but not limited to approaches employing Descartes, Kieker, and/or Palladio.
Monitoring of Remote Procedure Calls
In this blog post, the participants of the master’s project on “Distributed Monitoring”, which has been conducted at Kiel University in winter 2013/2014, report about their results:
Our task has been the development and implementation of concepts for monitoring remote procedure calls in distributed software systems, employing selected Java EE technologies. PubFlow, a distributed software system for scientific workflow automation, has served for the evaluation of the developed approach. We have used and extended a high-throughput tuned version of Kieker. ExplorViz has been used for live trace processing and visualization.
Kieker 1.9 released
Today, we released version 1.9 of our Kieker framework for application performance monitoring and dynamic software analysis: https://kieker-monitoring.net/
Quickstart Guide Now Available
Our new quickstart guides for Kieker demonstrate how to easily monitor and analyze Java applications with Kieker. Our first guide introduces Kieker from the command-line. The second guide demonstrates Kieker with Eclipse. Note, that the guides are written for the upcoming Kieker 1.9 release as well as for our current nightly builds.
Poster Award at ICPE 2014
Out of the 20 posters that were presented during the poster/demo session on Tuesday at the ICPE 2014 in Dublin, ours has been elected as the best poster. The election was conducted during the poster session by the attendees of the presentations by putting stickers on posters that were counted afterwards.

Kieker Tutorial at ICPE 2014
At the 5th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE 2014), we gave a 2-hour tutorial. The slides and instructions for the interactive parts, are publicly available:
- Slides: http://eprints.uni-kiel.de/23928/ (including handout version)
- Instructions for interactive parts: http://trac.kieker-monitoring.net/wiki/tutorials/201403icpe/
New Kieker Poster
Just in time for the Software Engineering 2014 (SE 2014) we finished a new Kieker poster. Feel free to use it in order to advertise for Kieker!
