Currently, only the Hiview run information exporting function is provided. 29 30plugins: Independent service modules. 31 32Hiview works in event-driven mode. The core of Hiview is a collection of HiSysEvent stubs distributed in the system. 33 34Formatted events are reported to Hiview through the **HiSysEvent** API for processing. Figure 2 shows the data interaction process. 35 36**Figure 2** Data interaction between Hiview modules 37 38![](figures/en-us_image_0000001115710726.png) 39 401. The application framework and system services report system events using the **HiSysEvent** API. 41 422. HiSysEventSource reads events and prints the events to logs. 43 44## Directory Structure<a name="section16611433113712"></a> 45 46The code directory structure of Hiview is as follows: 47 48``` 49/base/hiviewdfx/hiview 50├── adapter # Platform adaptation code 51│ └── service # Service adaptation code 52├── base # Module definition and utility class 53│ └── utility 54├── build # Compilation scripts 55├── include # Common definitions 56├── core # Plug-in management 57└── service # Platform services 58``` 59 60## Constraints<a name="section7147138193814"></a> 61 62Use of C++14 features requires libc of C++14 or later. 63 64## Contribution<a name="section10404153013381"></a> 65 66If you are interested in Hiview and want to become a contributor, refer to the _Code Contribution Guide_. 67 68## Usage<a name="section1046874983819"></a> 69 70Hiview automatically starts with the device and loads plug-ins based on the configuration file. 71 72## Repositories Involved<a name="section16647142611396"></a> 73 74[DFX subsystem](https://gitee.com/openharmony/docs/blob/master/en/readme/dfx.md) 75 76**hiviewdfx\_hiview** 77 78[hiviewdfx\_hilog](https://gitee.com/openharmony/hiviewdfx_hilog/blob/master/README.md) 79 80[hiviewdfx\_hiappevent](https://gitee.com/openharmony/hiviewdfx_hiappevent/blob/master/README.md) 81 82[hiviewdfx\_hisysevent](https://gitee.com/openharmony/hiviewdfx_hisysevent/blob/master/README.md) 83 84[hiviewdfx\_faultloggerd](https://gitee.com/openharmony/hiviewdfx_faultloggerd/blob/master/README.md) 85 86[hiviewdfx\_hilog\_lite](https://gitee.com/openharmony/hiviewdfx_hilog_lite/blob/master/README.md) 87 88[hiviewdfx\_hievent\_lite](https://gitee.com/openharmony/hiviewdfx_hievent_lite/blob/master/README.md) 89 90[hiviewdfx\_hiview\_lite](https://gitee.com/openharmony/hiviewdfx_hiview_lite/blob/master/README.md) 91 92
