<p>The <code>eventLoopUtilization()</code> method returns an object that contains the
cumulative duration of time the event loop has been both idle and active as a
high resolution milliseconds timer. The <code>utilization</code> value is the calculated
Event Loop Utilization (ELU).</p>
<p>If bootstrapping has not yet finished on the main thread the properties have
the value of <code>0</code>. The ELU is immediately available on <a href="worker_threads.md#worker_threads_worker_threads">Worker threads</a> since
bootstrap happens within the event loop.</p>
<p>Both <code>utilization1</code> and <code>utilization2</code> are optional parameters.</p>
<p>If <code>utilization1</code> is passed, then the delta between the current call's <code>active</code>
and <code>idle</code> times, as well as the corresponding <code>utilization</code> value are
calculated and returned (similar to <a href="process.html#process_process_hrtime_time"><code>process.hrtime()</code></a>).</p>
<p>If <code>utilization1</code> and <code>utilization2</code> are both passed, then the delta is
calculated between the two arguments. This is a convenience option because,
unlike <a href="process.html#process_process_hrtime_time"><code>process.hrtime()</code></a>, calculating the ELU is more complex than a
single subtraction.</p>
<p>ELU is similar to CPU utilization, except that it only measures event loop
statistics and not CPU usage. It represents the percentage of time the event
loop has spent outside the event loop's event provider (e.g. <code>epoll_wait</code>).
No other CPU idle time is taken into consideration. The following is an example
of how a mostly idle process will have a high ELU.</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-meta">'use strict'</span>;
<span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> { eventLoopUtilization } = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'perf_hooks'</span>).performance;
<span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> { spawnSync } = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'child_process'</span>);
setImmediate(<span class="hljs-function">() =></span> {
<span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> elu = eventLoopUtilization();
spawnSync(<span class="hljs-string">'sleep'</span>, [<span class="hljs-string">'5'</span>]);
<span class="hljs-built_in">console</span>.log(eventLoopUtilization(elu).utilization);
});</code></pre>
<p>Although the CPU is mostly idle while running this script, the value of
<code>utilization</code> is <code>1</code>. This is because the call to
<a href="child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawnsync_command_args_options"><code>child_process.spawnSync()</code></a> blocks the event loop from proceeding.</p>
<p>Passing in a user-defined object instead of the result of a previous call to
<code>eventLoopUtilization()</code> will lead to undefined behavior. The return values
are not guaranteed to reflect any correct state of the event loop.</p>

<code>performanceEntry.duration</code> measures the number of milliseconds elapsed since
<code>startMark</code> and <code>endMark</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>startMark</code> argument may identify any <em>existing</em> <code>PerformanceMark</code> in the
Performance Timeline, or <em>may</em> identify any of the timestamp properties
provided by the <code>PerformanceNodeTiming</code> class. If the named <code>startMark</code> does
not exist, then <code>startMark</code> is set to <a href="https://w3c.github.io/hr-time/#dom-performance-timeorigin"><code>timeOrigin</code></a> by default.</p>
<p>The optional <code>endMark</code> argument must identify any <em>existing</em> <code>PerformanceMark</code>
in the Performance Timeline or any of the timestamp properties provided by the
<code>PerformanceNodeTiming</code> class. <code>endMark</code> will be <code>performance.now()</code>
if no parameter is passed, otherwise if the named <code>endMark</code> does not exist, an
error will be thrown.</p>

<p>The <code>eventLoopUtilization()</code> method returns an object that contains the
cumulative duration of time the event loop has been both idle and active as a
high resolution milliseconds timer. The <code>utilization</code> value is the calculated
Event Loop Utilization (ELU). If bootstrapping has not yet finished, the
properties have the value of 0.</p>
<p><code>util1</code> and <code>util2</code> are optional parameters.</p>
<p>If <code>util1</code> is passed then the delta between the current call's <code>active</code> and
<code>idle</code> times are calculated and returned (similar to <a href="process.html#process_process_hrtime_time"><code>process.hrtime()</code></a>).
Likewise the adjusted <code>utilization</code> value is calculated.</p>
<p>If <code>util1</code> and <code>util2</code> are both passed then the calculation adjustments are
done between the two arguments. This is a convenience option because unlike
<a href="process.html#process_process_hrtime_time"><code>process.hrtime()</code></a> additional work is done to calculate the ELU.</p>
<p>ELU is similar to CPU utilization except that it is calculated using high
precision wall-clock time. It represents the percentage of time the event loop
has spent outside the event loop's event provider (e.g. <code>epoll_wait</code>). No other
CPU idle time is taken into consideration. The following is an example of how
a mostly idle process will have a high ELU.</p>
<!-- eslint-skip -->
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-meta">'use strict'</span>;
<span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> { eventLoopUtilization } = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'perf_hooks'</span>).performance;

spawnSync(<span class="hljs-string">'sleep'</span>, [<span class="hljs-string">'5'</span>]);
<span class="hljs-built_in">console</span>.log(eventLoopUtilization(elu).utilization);
});</code></pre>
<p>Although the CPU is mostly idle while running this script, the value of
<code>utilization</code> is 1. This is because the call to <a href="child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawnsync_command_args_options"><code>child_process.spawnSync()</code></a>
blocks the event loop from proceeding.</p>
<p>Passing in a user-defined object instead of the result of a previous call to
<code>eventLoopUtilization()</code> will lead to undefined behavior. The return values
are not guaranteed to reflect any correct state of the event loop.</p>

<p><em>This property is an extension by Node.js. It is not available in Web browsers.</em></p>
<p>Creates a <code>Histogram</code> object that samples and reports the event loop delay
over time. The delays will be reported in nanoseconds.</p>
<p>Using a timer to detect approximate event loop delay works because the
execution of timers is tied specifically to the lifecycle of the libuv
event loop. That is, a delay in the loop will cause a delay in the execution
of the timer, and those delays are specifically what this API is intended to
detect.</p>
