Language support

[cyriltovena]

We're looking at adding more language support even though we may have support through some PPROF custom implementation we want to offer the best experience for all languages.

Would it be possible to gather traces from all native programs via reading dwarf info?
Same as you could attach to any running program with perf.

[cyriltovena]

Great idea something to investigate.

C++ ? 😃

Wow, it must take a lot of time. I'm considering about compatibility. How about a library written with POSIX C? :)

@kawhicurry even better!

Can it consume generic pprof coming from nodejs?

[cyriltovena]

Yes it can already.

Hi, is there any way to import profiling data from ruby on rails? Are there any gems currently available for this.

[cyriltovena]

Yes you can use the pyroscope SDK https://pyroscope.io/docs/ruby/

No love for C++? 😄

We're working on adding eBPF to Grafana Agent that might help.

hello from Grafana @hmehr hope you're doing well.

Was too excited to use Grafana Phlare for .NET and couldn't wait for upstream support, so I've made a small .NET program which collects CPU profiling via dotnet-monitor and converts it into the pprof format to be ingested via the Phlare agent.

It's still a WIP, but I expect to start testing it in the development environments of my company in the coming weeks as I know there are a few others who are keen to get this kind of telemetry on our applications.

[cyriltovena]

Wow lovely @multimac You should try pyroscope .net SDK https://pyroscope.io/docs/dotnet/ you can ingest it now in Phlare and Pyroscope.
