PProfiling Usage Guide

Environment Variables

  • PPROF: Enable or disable profiling. Set to 1 to enable.
  • MEM_PROFILE_DIR: Directory to write memory profiles to.
  • CPU_PROFILE_DIR: Directory to write CPU profiles to.
  • PPROF_TIME: Polling time for CPU and memory profiles (with unit ex: 10s).
  • MEM_PROFILE_RATE: Memory profiling rate (default 4096).

How to Use

  1. Set the environment variables as per your requirements.
export PPROF=1
export MEM_PROFILE_DIR=/path/to/memprofile
export CPU_PROFILE_DIR=/path/to/cpuprofile
export PPROF_TIME=10s
export MEM_PROFILE_RATE=4096
  1. Run your Go application. The profiler will start automatically if PPROF is set to 1.

Output

  • Memory profiles will be written to the directory specified by MEM_PROFILE_DIR.
  • CPU profiles will be written to the directory specified by CPU_PROFILE_DIR.
  • Profiles will be written at intervals specified by PPROF_TIME.
  • Memory profiling rate is controlled by MEM_PROFILE_RATE.

Example

[+] GOOS: linux
[+] GOARCH: amd64
[+] Command: /path/to/your/app
Available PPROF Config Options:
MEM_PROFILE_DIR   - directory to write memory profiles to
CPU_PROFILE_DIR   - directory to write cpu profiles to
PPROF_TIME        - polling time for cpu and memory profiles (with unit ex: 10s)
MEM_PROFILE_RATE  - memory profiling rate (default 4096)
profile: memory profiling enabled (rate 4096), /path/to/memprofile
profile: ticker enabled (rate 10s)
profile: cpu profiling enabled (ticker 10s)

Note

  • The polling time (PPROF_TIME) should be set according to your application's performance and profiling needs.
  • The memory profiling rate (MEM_PROFILE_RATE) controls the granularity of the memory profiling. Higher values provide more detail but consume more resources.
