How to do tracing of caliper benchmarks execution ?

Question

How can I see console output in "running" mode (in --debug I can see it). Does caliper creates execution log? How to access it?

Answer 1

If I remember correctly, Caliper 0.5 doesn't have very good support for this. The reason is that if you're really performing a benchmark, extra I/O may degrade performance.

Caliper 1.0 gives you a few more options. By default, console output is still hidden, but adding --verbose will display any console output from the worker. It will also send logging to ~/.caliper/log/. Logging configuration can be overridden in ~/.caliper/logging.properties. If you need more control over output and logging, I recommend checking out Caliper 1.0 from HEAD and giving it a try. We hope to have a pre-built beta release soon.
