gotraceui - an efficient frontend for Go execution traces

Gotraceui is a tool for visualizing and analyzing Go execution traces. It is meant to be a faster, more accessible, and more powerful alternative to go tool trace. Unlike go tool trace, Gotraceui doesn’t use deprecated browser APIs (or a browser at all), and its UI is tuned specifically to the unique characteristics of Go traces.

Installation

Users of Nix can use the flake. There are no packages for other distributions or OSs yet and you will have to build honnef.co/go/gotraceui/cmd/gotraceui yourself. The manual contains information on how to.

Manual

Gotraceui includes a manual in PDF form. Each release includes the manual as an asset.
