.SH "NAME"
.PP
\fIpprof\fP - publishes runtime profiling data at endpoints under \fB\fC/debug/pprof\fR.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
You can visit \fB\fC/debug/pprof\fR on your site for an index of the available endpoints. By default it
will listen on localhost:6053.

.PP
This is a debugging tool. Certain requests (such as collecting execution traces) can be slow. If
you use pprof on a live server, consider restricting access or enabling it only temporarily.

.PP
This plugin can only be used once per Server Block.

.SH "SYNTAX"
.PP
.RS

.PP
Optionally pprof takes an address; the default is \fB\fClocalhost:6053\fR.

.PP
An extra option can be set with this extended syntax:

.PP
.RS

.nf
pprof [ADDRESS] {
   block [RATE]
}

.fi

.IP \(bu 4
\fB\fCblock\fR option enables block profiling, \fBRATE\fP defaults to 1. \fBRATE\fP must be a positive value.
See Diagnostics, chapter profiling
\[la]https://golang.org/doc/diagnostics.html\[ra] and
runtime.SetBlockProfileRate
\[la]https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#SetBlockProfileRate\[ra] for what block
profiling entails.


.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Enable a pprof endpoint:

.PP
.RS

.nf
\&. {
    pprof
}

.fi
.RE

.PP
And use the pprof tool to get statistics: \fB\fCgo tool pprof http://localhost:6053\fR.

.PP
Listen on an alternate address:

.PP
.RS

.nf
\&. {
    pprof 10.9.8.7:6060
}

.fi
.RE

.PP
Listen on an all addresses on port 6060, and enable block profiling

.PP
.RS

.nf
\&. {
    pprof :6060 {
       block
    }
}
