    BotKube

    BotKube

    BotKube

    BotKube is a messaging bot for monitoring and debugging Kubernetes clusters. It's built and maintained by InfraCloud. BotKube can be integrated with multiple messaging platforms like Slack, Mattermost, Microsoft Teams to help you monitor your Kubernetes cluster(s), debug critical deployments and gives recommendations for standard practices by running checks on the Kubernetes resources. BotKube watches Kubernetes resources and sends a notification to the channel if any event occurs for example ImagePullBackOff error. You can customize the objects and level of events you want to get from the Kubernetes cluster. You can turn on/off notifications. BotKube can execute kubectl commands on the Kubernetes cluster without giving access to Kubeconfig or underlying infrastructure. With BotKube you can debug your deployment, services or anything about your cluster right from your messaging window.

    weinre

    weinre

    Apache Software Foundation

    weinre is WEb INspector REmote. Pronounced like the word "winery". Or maybe like the word "weiner". weinre is a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for Firefox) and web inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you to debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone. weinre was built in an age when there were no remote debuggers available for mobile devices. Since then, some platforms are starting to provide remote debugger capabilities, as part of their platform toolset. weinre reuses the user interface code from the web inspector project at WebKit, so if you've used Safari's web inspector or Chrome's Developer Tools, weinre will be very familiar. In normal usage, you will be running the client application in a browser on your desktop/laptop, and running a target web page on your mobile device. weinre does not make use of any 'native' code in the browser, it's all plain old boring JavaScript.

    Stetho
    Stetho is a sophisticated debug bridge for Android applications. When enabled, developers have access to the Chrome Developer Tools feature natively part of the Chrome desktop browser. Developers can also choose to enable the optional dumpapp tool which offers a powerful command-line interface to application internals. Alternatively, you can include Stetho from Maven Central via Gradle or Maven. Only the main Stetho dependency is strictly required, however you may also wish to use one of the network helpers. The integration with the Chrome DevTools frontend is implemented using a client/server protocol which the Stetho software provides for your application. Network inspection is possible with the full spectrum of Chrome Developer Tools features, including image preview, JSON response helpers, and even exporting traces to the HAR format. SQLite databases can be visualized and interactively explored with full read/write capabilities.

    GDB

    GDB

    GDB

    GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on 'inside' another program while it executes - or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior. Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped. Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about another. Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native), on another machine (remote), or on a simulator. GDB can run on most popular UNIX and Microsoft Windows variants, as well as on Mac OS X. Inferior objects now contain a read-only 'connection_num' attribute that gives the connection number as seen in 'info connections' and 'info inferiors'. New method gdb.Frame.level() which returns the stack level of the frame object.

    GNU DDD
    GNU DDD is a graphical front-end for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger bashdb, the GNU Make debugger remake or the Python debugger pydb. Besides usual front-end features such as viewing source texts. DDD has become famous through its interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs. You can support the principle of software freedom by buying stuff from the FSF shop. To run DDD, you need the GNU debugger (GDB), version 4.16 or later (or depending on the program to be debugged, possibly other command-line debuggers such as Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger bashdb, the GNU Make debugger remake, or the Python debugger pydb).

    Orbit Profiler

    Orbit Profiler

    Orbit Profiler

    Quickly find performance bottlenecks and visualize what is going on in a complex C/C++ application. Orbit is a standalone profiler and debugging tool for Windows and Linux. Its main purpose is to help developers understand and visualize the execution flow of a complex application. By giving a bird’s eye view of what is happening under the hood, Orbit gives the developer a deeper understanding of complex systems and allows them to quickly find performance bottlenecks. Orbit works out of the box on any C/C++ application, as long as it has access to the Pdb file. Start profiling as soon as you finish downloading Orbit. Orbit injects itself into the target process and hooks into selected functions. It works even on your highly optimized final/shipping builds. Sampling is great when you don’t know where to start looking. Orbit’s sampling is fast, robust, and “always on”. Orbit combines sampling and dynamic instrumentation to optimize the profiling workflow.
