# bustle(1)

D-Bus visualiser

## NAME

bustle - D-Bus visualiser

## SYNOPSIS

**bustle** logfile

## DESCRIPTION

Bustle is a tool to chart and provide timing information of D-Bus calls for profiling and debugging. It is intended to replace reading the cryptic output of **dbus-monitor**. Calls are displayed using Message Sequence Charts, a succinct way of representing entities and interactions over time.

You may generate a dump using **bustle-pcap**  and pass its filename as an argument to this command to visualise dbus calls saved previously.
