Detailed Description

A RecordingStream handles everything related to logging data into Rerun.

Multithreading and ordering

A RecordingStream is thread-safe.

Internally, all operations are linearized into a pipeline:

All operations sent by a given thread will take effect in the same exact order as that thread originally sent them in, from its point of view.
There isn't any well defined global order across multiple threads.

This means that e.g. flushing the pipeline (flush_blocking) guarantees that all previous data sent by the calling thread has been recorded; no more, no less. (e.g. it does not mean that all file caches are flushed)

Shutdown

The RecordingStream can only be shutdown by dropping all instances of it, at which point it will automatically take care of flushing any pending data that might remain in the pipeline.

TODO(andreas): The only way of having two instances of a RecordingStream is currently to set it as a the global.

Shutting down cannot ever block.

Logging

Internally, the stream will automatically micro-batch multiple log calls to optimize transport. See SDK Micro Batching for more information.

The data will be timestamped automatically based on the RecordingStream's internal clock.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RecordingStream()

rerun::RecordingStream::RecordingStream	(	std::string_view	app_id,
		std::string_view	recording_id = `std::string_view()`,
		StoreKind	store_kind = `StoreKind::Recording`
	)

Creates a new recording stream to log to.

Parameters

app_id	The user-chosen name of the application doing the logging.
recording_id	The user-chosen name of the recording being logged to.
store_kind	Whether to log to the recording store or the blueprint store.

Member Function Documentation

◆ is_enabled()

bool rerun::RecordingStream::is_enabled ( ) const

inline

Returns whether the recording stream is enabled.

All log functions early out if a recording stream is disabled. Naturally, logging functions that take unserialized data will skip the serialization step as well.

◆ set_global()

void rerun::RecordingStream::set_global ( ) const

Replaces the currently active recording for this stream's store kind in the global scope with this one.

Afterwards, destroying this recording stream will not change the global recording stream, as it increases an internal ref-count.

◆ set_thread_local()

void rerun::RecordingStream::set_thread_local ( ) const

Replaces the currently active recording for this stream's store kind in the thread-local scope with this one.

Afterwards, destroying this recording stream will not change the thread local recording stream, as it increases an internal ref-count.

◆ current()

static RecordingStream & rerun::RecordingStream::current ( StoreKind store_kind = StoreKind::Recording )

static

Retrieves the most appropriate globally available recording stream for the given kind.

I.e. thread-local first, then global. If neither was set, any operations on the returned stream will be no-ops.

◆ connect()

Error rerun::RecordingStream::connect	(	std::string_view	tcp_addr = `"127.0.0.1:9876"`,
		float	flush_timeout_sec = `2.0`
	)		const

Connect to a remote Rerun Viewer on the given ip:port.

Requires that you first start a Rerun Viewer by typing 'rerun' in a terminal.

flush_timeout_sec: The minimum time the SDK will wait during a flush before potentially dropping data if progress is not being made. Passing a negative value indicates no timeout, and can cause a call to flush to block indefinitely.

This function returns immediately.

◆ connect_tcp()

Error rerun::RecordingStream::connect_tcp	(	std::string_view	tcp_addr = `"127.0.0.1:9876"`,
		float	flush_timeout_sec = `2.0`
	)		const

Connect to a remote Rerun Viewer on the given ip:port.

Requires that you first start a Rerun Viewer by typing 'rerun' in a terminal.

flush_timeout_sec: The minimum time the SDK will wait during a flush before potentially dropping data if progress is not being made. Passing a negative value indicates no timeout, and can cause a call to flush to block indefinitely.

This function returns immediately.

◆ spawn() [1/2]

Error rerun::RecordingStream::spawn	(	const SpawnOptions &	options = `{}`,
		float	flush_timeout_sec = `2.0`
	)		const

Spawns a new Rerun Viewer process from an executable available in PATH, then connects to it over TCP.

If a Rerun Viewer is already listening on this TCP port, the stream will be redirected to that viewer instead of starting a new one.

Parameters

options: See rerun::SpawnOptions for more information.

flush_timeout_sec: The minimum time the SDK will wait during a flush before potentially dropping data if progress is not being made. Passing a negative value indicates no timeout, and can cause a call to flush to block indefinitely.

◆ spawn() [2/2]

template<typename TRep , typename TPeriod >

Error rerun::RecordingStream::spawn	(	const SpawnOptions &	options = `{}`,
		std::chrono::duration< TRep, TPeriod >	flush_timeout = `std::chrono::seconds(2)`
	)		const

inline

See also: RecordingStream::spawn

◆ save()

Error rerun::RecordingStream::save ( std::string_view path ) const

Stream all log-data to a given .rrd file.

The Rerun Viewer is able to read continuously from the resulting rrd file while it is being written. However, depending on your OS and configuration, changes may not be immediately visible due to file caching. This is a common issue on Windows and (to a lesser extent) on MacOS.

This function returns immediately.

◆ to_stdout()

Error rerun::RecordingStream::to_stdout ( ) const

Stream all log-data to standard output.

Pipe the result into the Rerun Viewer to visualize it.

If there isn't any listener at the other end of the pipe, the RecordingStream will default back to buffered mode, in order not to break the user's terminal.

This function returns immediately.

◆ flush_blocking()

void rerun::RecordingStream::flush_blocking ( ) const

Initiates a flush the batching pipeline and waits for it to propagate.

See RecordingStream docs for ordering semantics and multithreading guarantees.

◆ set_time_sequence()

void rerun::RecordingStream::set_time_sequence	(	std::string_view	timeline_name,
		int64_t	sequence_nr
	)		const

Set the current time of the recording, for the current calling thread.

Used for all subsequent logging performed from this same thread, until the next call to one of the time setting methods.

For example: rec.set_time_sequence("frame_nr", frame_nr).

You can remove a timeline from subsequent log calls again using rec.disable_timeline.

See also: set_time_seconds, set_time_nanos, reset_time, set_time, disable_timeline

template<typename TClock >

void rerun::RecordingStream::set_time	(	std::string_view	timeline_name,
		std::chrono::time_point< TClock >	time
	)		const

inline

Set the current time of the recording, for the current calling thread.

Used for all subsequent logging performed from this same thread, until the next call to one of the time setting methods.

For example: rec.set_time("sim_time", sim_time_secs).

You can remove a timeline from subsequent log calls again using rec.disable_timeline.

See also: set_time_sequence, set_time_seconds, set_time_nanos, reset_time, disable_timeline

◆ set_time_seconds()

void rerun::RecordingStream::set_time_seconds	(	std::string_view	timeline_name,
		double	seconds
	)		const

Set the current time of the recording, for the current calling thread.

Used for all subsequent logging performed from this same thread, until the next call to one of the time setting methods.

For example: rec.set_time_seconds("sim_time", sim_time_secs).

◆ log()

template<typename... Ts>

void rerun::RecordingStream::log	(	std::string_view	entity_path,
		const Ts &...	archetypes_or_collections
	)		const

inline

Logs one or more archetype and/or component batches.

This is the main entry point for logging data to rerun. It can be used to log anything that implements the AsComponents<T> trait.

When logging data, you must always provide an entity_path for identifying the data. Note that the path prefix "rerun/" is considered reserved for use by the Rerun SDK itself and should not be used for logging user data. This is where Rerun will log additional information such as warnings.

The most common way to log is with one of the rerun archetypes, all of which implement the AsComponents trait.

For example, to log two 3D points:

rec.log("my/point", rerun::Points3D({{0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}, {1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f}}));

rerun::archetypes::Points3D

Archetype: A 3D point cloud with positions and optional colors, radii, labels, etc.

Definition points3d.hpp:156

The log function can flexibly accept an arbitrary number of additional objects which will be merged into the first entity so long as they don't expose conflicting components, for instance:

// Log three points with arrows sticking out of them:
rec.log(
    "my/points",
    rerun::Points3D({{0.2f, 0.5f, 0.3f}, {0.9f, 1.2f, 0.1f}, {1.0f, 4.2f, 0.3f}})
            .with_radii({0.1, 0.2, 0.3}),
    rerun::Arrows3D::from_vectors({{0.3f, 2.1f, 0.2f}, {0.9f, -1.1, 2.3f}, {-0.4f, 0.5f, 2.9f}})
);

Any failures that may occur during serialization are handled with Error::handle.

Parameters

entity_path	Path to the entity in the space hierarchy.
archetypes_or_collections	Any type for which the `AsComponents<T>` trait is implemented. This is the case for any archetype or `std::vector`/`std::array`/C-array of components implements.

◆ log_static()

template<typename... Ts>

void rerun::RecordingStream::log_static	(	std::string_view	entity_path,
		const Ts &...	archetypes_or_collections
	)		const

inline

Logs one or more archetype and/or component batches as static data.

Like log but logs the data as static: Static data has no time associated with it, exists on all timelines, and unconditionally shadows any temporal data of the same type.

Failures are handled with Error::handle.

Parameters

entity_path	Path to the entity in the space hierarchy.
archetypes_or_collections	Any type for which the `AsComponents<T>` trait is implemented. This is the case for any archetype or `std::vector`/`std::array`/C-array of components implements.

Error rerun::RecordingStream::try_log	(	std::string_view	entity_path,
		const Ts &...	archetypes_or_collections
	)		const

inline

See log for more information. Unlike log this method returns an error if an error occurs during serialization or logging.

Parameters

entity_path	Path to the entity in the space hierarchy.
archetypes_or_collections	Any type for which the `AsComponents<T>` trait is implemented. This is the case for any archetype or `std::vector`/`std::array`/C-array of components implements.

◆ try_log_static()

template<typename... Ts>

Error rerun::RecordingStream::try_log_static	(	std::string_view	entity_path,
		const Ts &...	archetypes_or_collections
	)		const

inline

Logs one or more archetype and/or component batches as static data, returning an error.

See log/log_static for more information. Unlike log_static this method returns if an error occurs during serialization or logging.

Parameters

entity_path	Path to the entity in the space hierarchy.
archetypes_or_collections	Any type for which the `AsComponents<T>` trait is implemented. This is the case for any archetype or `std::vector`/`std::array`/C-array of components implements.

Otherwise, the data will be timestamped automatically with `log_time` and `log_tick`. Additional timelines set by `set_time_sequence` or `set_time` will also be included.

◆ send_columns() [1/2]

template<typename... Ts>

void rerun::RecordingStream::send_columns	(	std::string_view	entity_path,
		Collection< TimeColumn >	time_columns,
		Collection< Ts >...	component_columns
	)		const

inline

Directly log a columns of data to Rerun.

Unlike the regular log API, which is row-oriented, this API lets you submit the data in a columnar form. Each TimeColumn and Collection<T> represents a column of data that will be sent to Rerun. The lengths of all of these columns must match, equivalent to a single call to RecordingStream::log with a list of individual components.

Note that this API ignores any stateful time set on the log stream via the RecordingStream::set_time_* APIs. Furthermore, this will not inject the default timelines log_tick and log_time timeline columns.

Any failures that may occur during serialization are handled with Error::handle.

Parameters

entity_path	Path to the entity in the space hierarchy.
time_columns	The time columns to send.
component_columns	The columns of components to send. Each individual component in each collection will be associated with a single time value. I.e. this creates `ComponentColumn` objects consisting of single component runs.

◆ send_columns() [2/2]

void rerun::RecordingStream::send_columns	(	std::string_view	entity_path,
		Collection< TimeColumn >	time_columns,
		Collection< ComponentColumn >	component_columns
	)		const

inline

Directly log a columns of data to Rerun.

Unlike the regular log API, which is row-oriented, this API lets you submit the data in a columnar form. Each TimeColumn and ComponentColumn represents a column of data that will be sent to Rerun. The lengths of all of these columns must match, and all data that shares the same index across the different columns will act as a single logical row, equivalent to a single call to RecordingStream::log.

Note that this API ignores any stateful time set on the log stream via the RecordingStream::set_time_* APIs. Furthermore, this will not inject the default timelines log_tick and log_time timeline columns.

Any failures that may occur during serialization are handled with Error::handle.

Parameters

entity_path	Path to the entity in the space hierarchy.
time_columns	The time columns to send.
component_columns	The columns of components to send.
