ArgusAPM

Another masterpiece of 360 open source - ArgusAPM mobile performance monitoring platform

announcement

Due to the company's business adjustment and cost reasons, ArgusAPM stopped supporting free access services on the server side. Products already connected will not be affected (you can continue to use them for free), but they will no longer be added! This project is a technical open source project. Stopping server access will not have an impact on the open source project itself. You can also use the previous access documents as a reference in your own projects.

Project background

ArgusAPM is another heavyweight open source project developed by the 360 ​​Mobile Guard client team after RePlugin. ArgusAPM is a visual performance monitoring platform used by 360 mobile products. It provides performance monitoring and management for mobile APPs. It can quickly discover and locate various APP performance and usage problems, and help APPs continuously improve user experience.

product value

• Control application performance in real time
• Reduce performance positioning costs
• Effectively improve user experience

Monitoring module

ArgusAPM currently supports the following performance indicators:

• Interaction analysis: Analyze Activity life cycle time consumption to help improve page opening speed and optimize user UI experience
• Network request analysis: monitor traffic usage, discover and locate various network problems
• Memory analysis: comprehensively monitor memory usage and reduce memory usage
• Process monitoring: For multi-process applications, count process startup status and detect startup abnormalities (power consumption, survival rate, etc.)
• File monitoring: Monitor the size/changes of APP private files to avoid problems such as lagging and storage space usage caused by too large private files.
• Stuttering analysis: monitor and discover the causes of stuttering, accurately locate the problem in the code stack, and resolve obvious stuttering experiences
• ANR analysis: Capture ANR exceptions and solve the "unresponsive" problem of APP

ArgusAPM features

• non-invasive

​ There is no need to modify the original engineering structure, no intrusion access, and low access cost.

• No performance loss

​ ArgusAPM optimizes the collection timing for each performance collection module, and performs performance collection and analysis without affecting the original performance.

• Comprehensive monitoring

Currently, it supports performance data analysis in various dimensions such as UI performance, network performance, memory, process, file, lag, ANR, etc., and new performance dimensions will be added in the future.

• Debug mode

​ The unique Debug mode supports the development and testing stages, real-time collection of performance data, and real-time local analysis capabilities to help developers and testers solve performance problems before going online.

• Support plug-in solution

​ Set during the initialization stage to support plug-in access. Currently, 360 Mobile Guard uses ArgusAPM in the RePlugin plug-in, and there is no impact on performance.

• Support multi-process collection

In view of the multi-process situation, we have made corresponding data collection and optimization plans, making ArgusAPM suitable for both single-process and multi-process APPs.

• Save user traffic

​ ArgusAPM uses wifi to upload performance data, which avoids the power consumption problem and user traffic consumption caused by frequent network requests.

ArgusAPM project structure chart

The overall architecture is divided into two parts: one is the blue part on the left: the performance collection module, and the other is the green part on the right: the Gradle Plugin module.

The following is a brief introduction to these two parts respectively:

1. Performance collection module

This module is divided into five Modules in total, and finally generates three aar files, namely:

argus-apm-main.aar: The core business module of the APM project

argus-apm-aop.aar: Weaving module for AOP code

argus-apm-okhttp.aar: Collect OKHTTP network performance

The reason why so many modules are split is to allow us to use the functions inside in a pluggable manner. For example, if OKHTTP-related functions are not used in my project, then we can turn off the corresponding dependencies.

2. Gradle Plugin module

This module mainly has two functions:

1. Supports AOP programming, allowing ArgusAPM to weave in some performance collection code during compilation;

2. Dependent libraries are managed through the Gradle plug-in, making it easier for users to access ArgusAPM.

In the end, when we connect to ArgusAPM, we only need to apply simple plug-ins, and no longer need to rely on each aar file separately.
