Download and Extract Tutorial

The Kieker download site http://kieker-monitoring.net/download/ provides archives of the binary and source distribution, special bundles, the Javadoc~API, as well as additional examples. For this quick start guide, Kieker’s binary distribution, e.g., kieker-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-binaries.zip, is required and must be downloaded. After having extracted the archive, you’ll find the directory structure and contents shown below

• kieker-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-binaries/

  • bin Call scripts for old style Kieker tools

  • build/libs Kieker framework libraries

  • doc Old style documentation

  • examples Example projects and configuration files

    • userguide Source code of the examples in this document

  • tools Packaged Kieker tools

  • HISTORY

  • LICENSE

  • README

The Java sources presented in this user guide, as well as pre-compiled binaries, are included in the examples/userguide/ directory. The file task ':mainJar' property 'archiveFileName' contains the Kieker.Monitoring and Kieker.Analysis components, as well as the Kieker.Trace-Analysis tool. The sample Kieker.Monitoring configuration file kieker.monitoring.ex-ample.properties will be detailed in Chapter 3. In addition to the task ':mainJar' property 'archiveFileName' file, the build/libs/ directory includes variants of this .jar files with integrated third-party libraries. Additional information on these .jar files and when to use them will follow later in this document.
