The Telemetry class lets an application profile ActionScript code and register handlers for commands

Static variables

staticread onlyconnected:Bool

Indicates whether Telemetry is connected to a server

@:value(0.0)staticread onlyspanMarker:Float = 0.0

Returns a marker for use with Telemetry.sendSpanMetric

Static methods

staticregisterCommandHandler(commandName:String, handler:Dynamic):Bool

Register a function that can be called by issuing a command over a socket

Returns true if the registration is successful. If registration fails, there is already a handler registered for the command used (or the command name starts with '.', which is reserved for player internal use) Already registered handlers may be unregistered using unregisterCommandHandler before registering another handler.

The handler function's return value is sent as the result of the command (tlm-response.result). The handler function can throw Error, if it wants to send an error response. In this case, Error.message and Error.id are sent as tlm-response.tlm-error.message and tlm-response.tlm-error.code, respectively. (tlm-response.result and tlm-response.tlm-error.data are sent as null)

@returns

Parameters:

commandName

String specifying a unique name (The command over the socket should specify this string as the method name). The guideline is to follow reverse DNS notation, which helps to avoid namespace collisions. Additionally, and names starting with . are reserved for native use.

handler

Function to be called when a command is received by Telemetry over the socket with the method name, as specified in functionId argument. The handler should accept only one argument of type Array (as defined by tlm-method.params in Telemetry Protocol), which has to be sent by Telemetry server along with method name.

staticsendMetric(metric:String, value:Dynamic):Void

Requests a custom metric from Telemetry. The metric name and object are sent as per the Telemetry protocol format.

The guideline for custom metric namespaces is to follow reverse DNS notation, which helps to avoid namespace collisions.

Parameters:

metric

Metric name

value

Any primitive value/object containing the metric details

Throws:

ArgumentError

If metric uses reserved namespaces like flash native namespace (for example, if the metric name starts with '.')

@:value({ value : null })staticsendSpanMetric(metric:String, startSpanMarker:Float, ?value:Dynamic):Void

Requests a custom span metric from Telemetry

Use Telemetry.spanMarker to get a marker at the start of function to be profiled and call Telemetry.sendSpanMetric at the end of function with the marker. Telemetry sends the name, starting marker, and duration of the function plus the optional value as per the Telemetry protocol.

The guideline for custom metric namespaces is to follow reverse DNS notation, which helps to avoid namespace collisions.

Span metrics for durations less than a specified threshold, which could be controlled from the Telemetry Server using Telemetry Protocol, would be ignored by Telemetry (will not be sent to Telemetry Server).

Parameters:

metric

Metric name

startSpanMarker

Start marker.

value

Optional parameter. Any primitive value/object to be sent along with name, marker and duration

Throws:

ArgumentError

If metric uses reserved namespaces like flash native namespace (i.e. if metric name starts with '.')

staticunregisterCommandHandler(commandName:String):Bool

@returns

Parameters:

commandName
