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)

ComputerNerd A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 13 Uploads: 0	If you are running the CPU profiling then that would explain the lags you are experiencing. That is a very demanding feature, and will have a performance impact. That is meant as a diagnostic, or information tool. Not something you run all the time, only when you need to identify the source of other cpu hogs.

Mera A Rage Talon Dragon Guard Forum posts: 319 File comments: 107 Uploads: 7	No Zidomo, if I had included LibDBIcon + QTip + Dewdrop, the Broker_CPU cpu and memory usages would belong to LibDBIcon + QTip + Dewdrop + Broker_CPU My advice, just install the libraries as a normal AddOn and remove them all from each AddOn folder embedding it, if you do this you are sure only one instance of the library is installed and updating it is just quicker so you can see its cpu and mem usage not spoofed under another addon name. When you do install in windows a .NET Framework application, this last does not include .NET 3.5, you install it one time for all .NET application right ? thin it like that. This is even more crucial for a profiling tool... __________________ BrokerCPU, EasyDND, OneCompanion, BrokerClearChat wowdiff, wowluatxt ThunderBayes++ (a strong antispam plugin for Thunderbird 3.x and OSX/Linux/Windows)

Zidomo A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 61 File comments: 819 Uploads: 0	If you require Dewdrop-2.0 for a user to access the non-command options, you really should include that library in the download. Its not standard/advised/etc. to provide a function that needs a library and not include that library in the download. If you provided the non-command options in Blizzard's option panel instead, that wouldn't be necessary. The user could (for instance) right click the LDB display/minimap icon to open the Blizzard options panel to the mod's options.

confirmed, same for me.
i use DockingStation as my LDB-enabled bar , and i have the exact same issue.

Setting BrokerCPU to refresh itself every second will drastically increase that lag, making it really obvious that it comes from BrokerCPU's refresh call ...

could we narrow it somehow down ?
it must be something in the code, seeing as other similar addons won't produce this lag ...

I was very suprised to find out that i could fix this problem just by disabling brokercpu, and keep all my other much bigger addons enabled.

Not sure why it is doing this, but it does :/

stencil A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Thanks for the addon. I'm using it to try to find and replace poor performing addons in the hope that it helps my DC problems (which seem to have started when ICC was introduced). I have a few suggestions that I think would make it even better. 1) The sum of all the CPU time spent in addons is shown; I'd like to also see it as a percentage of the total time that has elapsed since the profiler started recording it. Now, enough time is spent in idle where not a lot is going for the addons to process that this number will quickly become very small and so this may not seem very useful unless .... 2) ... an option is added to reset the totals back to 0 and start collecting again from that point. A lot of addons may have a constant level of activity that over time could keep them near the top of the list. But what I'm really looking for are the ones that in the crucnch, say aoe'ing ony's whelp backs, might be bringing WoW to its knees. Being able to reset and start collection before or in the midst of a situation like that could really show which addons have trouble scaling and are the potential problems. 3) With LibQTip installed we get another column showing the rate of growth of memory or cpu usage of an addon. I'd like as an option to be able to have the addons ordered not by total but by rate of change. Again, so you can see which addons are right now, sucking up the most cycles. Thanks.

Zake202 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I like this addon a lot but I had 2 questions. I should also mention I'm coming from fubar_performanceFu. Is there a way to make the fps update in real time? I know several others update it constantly, this one takes a few seconds it seems? Secondly, can I do a mem dump at all with this? I know the performance one could, it helped when I was too lazy to disable recount in BG's etc. Edit: NVM!!!! I figured out how with the commands. Didn't realize there were any. =) Last edited by Zake202 : 12-09-2009 at 09:30 PM.

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.
