Instrumentation
This document explains how to gather instrumentation logs and other diagnostic information from a running Dart Analysis Server (DAS) process.
Collect an instrumentation log
To collect an instrumentation log, DAS needs to be launched with the
--instrumentation-log-file option, specifying a path for the log file. Since
the IDE launches DAS, the steps are different for each IDE.
IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio
- In IntelliJ IDEA, click Help > Find Action, type "Registry" and open the "Registry..." item.
- Scroll down to the
dart.server.additional.argumentsproperty, and set it's value to--instrumentation-log-file=/some/file.txt. If there are other arguments listed, which you wish to keep, add this new argument to the existing value, separated by whitespace. - In the Dart Analysis panel, click the

Restart Dart Analysis Server button.
After doing those steps, DAS will write an instrumentation log to the specified
file (/some/file.txt above).
VS Code
See the steps outlined at the Dart Code documentation.
Open the analyzer diagnostics pages
DAS serves a variety of "diagnostics pages" as a website on localhost. Since
the IDE launches DAS, the method of opening this website is different for each
IDE.
IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio
- In the Dart Analysis panel, click the

Analyzer
Settings button on the left with the gear icon. Note, this is different
from the "Show Options Menu" button at the top, which also has a gear icon. - Click the View analyzer diagnostics link. The analyzer diagnostics website should open in an external browser.
VS Code
- Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and type "Dart: Open Analyzer Diagnostics". The analyzer diagnostics website should open in an external browser.
Using the analyzer diagnostics pages
Status
The first of the analyzer diagnostics pages is the Status page. This page shows general information about the DAS process, including version information.
