Features#

System Information scalability improvements#

Now, the tool uses the XStream object serialization library to persist target information data to an XML file. This greatly improves the scalability of the tool in the following areas:

  • Because of the way that the XStream library handles in-memory object reference, most objects can be serialized without the need for holding on to the object mapping; therefore the tool does not use as much memory as it did before
  • The tool can perform logging for a much longer period of time. Some initial measurements show that the target snapshot logging can continue for as long as six hours, while previous results showed that a typical system would run out of memory when logging for more than one hour
  • The results are in clean XML format, which is easier for users to read
