Capture Unreal Engine traces to .utrace files and export Unreal Insights timing/counter data in headless mode.
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_EXEUNREAL_TRACE_SERVER_EXEUNREALINSIGHTS_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 `
$install
