10324 :: asyncdispatch debugging

  Are there any existing libraries, such as rust's tokio-console, that can debug asyncdispatch status?

  You might be interested in chronos' future tracking feature: https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos/blob/master/chronos/config.nim#L31

  The way we use it is to expose it via a REST interface so that all in-flight tasks can be tracked:

  https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/blob/unstable/beacon_chain/rpc/rest_nimbus_api.nim#L254

  I'm not aware of any equivalent in asyncdispatch, but then again, we don't use it so others might know more.

  If you're just starting out and don't depend on asyncdispatch for library support yet, I recommend trying Chronos. It's a lot better than asyncdispatch.

  Sorry for the late reply.

  It seems that asyncdispatch does not have the ability to track status. I will take a look at the internal implementation of chronos you mentioned.

  However, I'm currently using nmqtt etc. and cannot switch to chronos right away.

  I have recently started using Victoria Metrics and was doing some research and found a package that exports Futures status in Prometheus Exporter format. I will give it a try.
