Can I collect network traffic for my app using Perfetto?

Question

I'd like to save various traces, or metrics. The reason for this is to compare performance per each versions of my application.

I want to use Perfetto command line tool to collect metrics and convert them into json format and upload to my DB.

I can find cpu,mem and power metrics on Perfetto, but I cannot find network metric.

FYI, In case of Android studio. As shown in the following picture, I can capture network metric from my application.

This is answered from here: https://github.com/google/perfetto/issues/156

There is no network information in traces yet. Android studio likely takes that from something != trace (by polling at some /proc counter perhaps).

Nothing planned too soon on this front, so closing this.
