Troubleshoot projects running on Google Compute Engine with Google Cloud Debugger
Tuesday, March 3, 2015
Back in November, at
Google Cloud Platform Live
, we
released the beta of Google Cloud Debugger
with support for Managed VM based projects. Today, we’re expanding support for
Google Compute Engine
based projects. Now you can simply set a snapshot on a line of code and Cloud Debugger will return local variables and a full stack trace from the next request that executes that line. Say goodbye to littering your code with logging statements.
Setting up Cloud Debugger on Compute Engine is easy using the Cloud Debugger agent and bootstrap script –
try it for yourself
. You’ll need the following:
64-bit Debian Linux image
Java JDK version 7 or 8
Project source code stored either in
Cloud Repository
or in a connected
GitHub
or
BitBucket
repository
Cloud Debugger is available on both production and staging instances of your application and adds zero overhead on services that aren’t being actively debugged. The debugger adds less than 10ms to request latency when capturing application state and doesn’t block or halt execution of your application.
Stay tuned for support for other programming languages and environments. As always, we’d love
direct feedback
and will be monitoring
Stack Overflow
for issues and suggestions.
