Instrumentation and monitoring plays an important role in measurement-based performance evaluation of software systems. To this end, a large body of instrumentation and monitoring tools exist which, however, depend on proprietary and programming-language-specific instrumentation languages. Due to the lack of a common instrumentation language, it is difficult and expensive to port per se generic measurement-based performance evaluation approaches among different application contexts. In this work-in-progress paper, we address this issue by introducing a performance-oriented, generic meta-model for application-independent and tool independent description of instrumentation instructions. Decoupling the instrumentation description from its realization in a concrete application context, by a concrete instrumentation tool allows to design measurement based performance evaluation approaches in a generic and portable way. |
