title: 'autometric: Background Resource Logging'
version: 0.0.5.9002
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.autometric
abstract: Intense parallel workloads can be difficult to monitor. Packages 'crew.cluster',
  'clustermq', and 'future.batchtools' distribute hundreds of worker processes over
  multiple computers. If a worker process exhausts its available memory, it may terminate
  silently, leaving the underlying problem difficult to detect or troubleshoot. Using
  the 'autometric' package, a worker can proactively monitor itself in a detached
  background thread. The worker process itself runs normally, and the thread writes
  to a log every few seconds. If the worker terminates unexpectedly, 'autometric'
  can read and visualize the log file to reveal potential resource-related reasons
  for the crash. The 'autometric' package borrows heavily from the methods of packages
  'ps' <https://doi.org/10.32614/CRAN.package.ps> and 'psutil'.
