cli-anything-unrealinsights（CLI anything unrealinsights 搜索）

cli-anything-unrealinsights

Use this CLI when you need agent-friendly access to Unreal Insights trace capture and exporter workflows on Windows.

Prerequisites

• Unreal Engine 5.5+ installed with UnrealInsights.exe
• Windows
• Optional explicit env vars:

- UNREALINSIGHTS_EXE - UNREAL_TRACE_SERVER_EXE - UNREALINSIGHTS_TRACE

Core Commands

Backend discovery

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json backend info

To use a source-built engine's matching UnrealInsights.exe:

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json backend ensure-insights `
  --engine-root 'D:\code\D5\d5render-ue5_3'

This first looks for Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealInsights.exe under the specified engine root, then builds it with that engine's Build.bat if needed.

Trace session state

cli-anything-unrealinsights trace set D:\captures\session.utrace
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json trace info

Capture orchestration

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture run `
  --project 'D:\Projects\MyGame\MyGame.uproject' `
  --engine-root 'D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.5' `
  --output-trace D:\captures\boot.utrace `
  --channels "default,bookmark" `
  --exec-cmd "Trace.Bookmark BootStart" `
  --wait --timeout 300

You can also keep using the explicit form:

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture run `
  'D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.5\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor.exe' `
  --target-arg 'D:\Projects\MyGame\MyGame.uproject'

Continuous capture session control

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture start `
  --project 'D:\Projects\MyGame\MyGame.uproject' `
  --engine-root 'D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.5' `
  --output-trace D:\captures\live_session.utrace

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture status
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture snapshot D:\captures\live_snapshot.utrace
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture stop

This is the preferred flow when an agent needs to start profiling now and stop or snapshot later in a follow-up turn.

If a tracked capture session is still running, capture start now requires --replace so the previous process is stopped before a new one is launched.

Offline exporters

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace export threads D:\out\threads.csv
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace export timer-stats D:\out\stats.csv --region "EXPORT_CAPTURE"
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace export counter-values D:\out\counter_values.csv --counter "*"

Batch response files

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace batch run-rsp D:\out\exports.rsp

JSON Output Guidance

• Prefer --json for agent workflows.
• Export commands return:

- trace_path - exec_command - output_files - log_path - exit_code - warnings - errors - succeeded

• Capture returns:

- command - trace_path - trace_exists - trace_size - pid or exit_code

• Continuous capture status returns:

- pid - running - target_exe - project_path - trace_path - trace_size - started_at

Notes

• v1 is Windows-first.
• v1 supports file-mode capture orchestration only.
• v1 does not control already-running UE instances or browse trace stores.
• capture stop is a best-effort stop of the harness-launched process tree.
• capture snapshot is a best-effort filesystem snapshot of the active trace.
