Broker CPU / Memory / Performance Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

French support: Pour des questions/commentaires en Français vous pouvez utiliser JeuxOnline ou JudgeHype

A lightweight Data Broker plugin to visualize AddOn CPU/Memory usage, Framerate and Latency.

Automatic tooltip actualisation w/ configurable thresholds
Can use a simple GameTooltip or advanced LibQTip
No required librairies, they are just enhancements
Can force to not use a library if it's detected but not needed
Designed to be the most performance friendly it can
Less resources usage and better readability than PerformanceFu w/ Tablet
Tekkub™ colorGradients, Garbage collect, Detachable tooltip and more...
/cpu, /brokercpu or /broker_cpu to show usage

Reminder for beginners with LDB plugins:
Any LDB plugin from this site section doesn't work in standalone, for a minimal use you need at least LibDBIcon OR for an optimal use choose a LDB display plugin, but in the case of BrokerCPU it's recommanded to use a LDB display rather than LibDBIcon if do you want to see short resources usages infos displayed on the screen.

To get optional features you can (none mandatory)

Install LibQTip for cpudiff, memorydiff, icons columns & a cleaner tooltip
Install LibDBIcon for a minimap icon
Install DewdropLib for a quick menu to set options without using command lines
The mod also supports AddonLoader

Known LDB displays: (none mandatory if you are using LibDBIcon)
Click here for an updated list

LDB (LibDataBroker) is a neat & lightweight library developed by Tekkub™ allowing developers to build very short or strong codes compatible with all "FuBar" like mods, more infos here.

Note: CPU profiling which is by default to OFF in the Blizzard client should remain OFF when you don't need it, this is much a debugging option rather than a permanent performance meter, enabling CPU profiling could affects gaming performance, but helps a lot benchmarking addons, finding bugs, etc...

Note that when you run with libraries embedded in your addons, their CPU and memory usage will be reported as belonging to that addon, which is not entirely true if you use other addons that make use of the same libraries. It is preferred to run only standalone libraries (one copy installed like a standard AddOn with the .toc file) so you can show resources used per AddOns and libraries separately.

Some hints to install a standalone library correctly:

You just install a standalone library like any other addon in the same Interface\AddOns\ folder
The library must have a .toc file and the library folder must have the same name than the .toc file, example with DewdropLib the path should looks like Interface\AddOns\DewdropLib\DewdropLib.toc
Then the longuest part is to remove the library you just installed in standalone from every addon you use that could embed it, then you are sure that only the standalone library is called and the consumed resources are correctly belonging to it.
Some libraries are NOT to dis-embed, so if do you see the most popular embeds LibDataBroker, AceLibrary, LibStub, CallBackHandler, just leave them embedded, they are not designed to be standalone (If a library does not provide a .toc file it's not designed to be standalone)

Open Broker_CPU.lua in an editor like Notepad (make sure it is a plain text editor, not Word or Works). Delete line 1096 completely, leaving no blank line. The line reads:

icon = icon,

You're done.

Thanks so much.

The thing with Broker2FuBar is that it has an options menu that allows you to enable or disable broker icons and/or text. I don't have the problem with any other LDB addons. This is the only one that I can't permanently disable the icon for. The icon will stay hidden for the session, but on every client restart it's back up there.

Are there a couple lines of code in the .lua file that I can just delete to remove the icon? (Or break it, assuming it doesn't just show a blank placeholder like it does when I remove the icon graphic .tga from the folder?)

Hmmm, I don't know about that, I'm not really a programmer, more like a code hacker (in the hackney sense of the word). I'll poke around the lua, but sounds like you've done that already. I know that Broker2Fubar is the reason I finally quit the whole Fubar thing. So many addons were going to LDB and Broker2Fubar had so many issues, yet seemed like there wasn't much support going on for it and the issues that I kept having were mounting up, so I switched to full LDB.

To find out if its a problem with Broker CPU or Broker2Fubar, do this: download an LDB based display like Chocolate Bar or Docking Station, then make sure only that display addon and Broker CPU are the only addons running. If you can turn off the icon and it stays off even after a reload, then its a problem with Broker2Fubar and I'd drop a line to the Broker2Fubar guy.
Be sure to also use the "Report Bugs" button on the front page of this addon to report it as a bug. Be sure to tell the author that you use Broker2Fubar and whether or not your troubleshooting above worked.

Can't figure out why; this doesn't happen with any of my other LDB addons.

First I tried removing the actual .tga icon out of the addon directory, but that didn't work because there was still a black "placeholder" space where the icon would be, defeating the purpose of wanting a smaller view.

Then I tried looking in the .lua file to see if I could find a way to delete the code that refers to the icon, but I just couldn't find the right lines and kept messing it up, having to re-install it.

Any help?

Ok, I have a lot of addons, etc., but this is driving my crazy. Every WoW session, for me, it's a pain. A "pause" every 10 seconds for 3 hours are really not for me. :-P

Anyway, nice job here. Hope you'll find a fix for that.

Its actully the updating of the LDB text itself. not only that, but I want to tell it "only update the MB usage every x second, the fps every x seconds, and the latency every x seconds" because I'm more concerned with latency and framerate than addon usage. Ultimately, although I dislike having to have 3 plugins to do something that one could do, I have to go back to my fps/memory/lat plugin setup before. Can't handle that screen lag either.

Basically, it just isn't working for GameToolTip, and it isn't using LibQTip on startup either even if I have it enabled.

Edit #2: I installed LibQTip and now (with LibQTip enabled) I can see the tooltip properly upon logging in. Gametooltip still does not show or function though.

I also had the same results while playing with it last week, hadn't had a chance to post yet.
