.SH "NAME"
\fIpprof\fR \- publishes runtime profiling data at endpoints under \fB/debug/pprof\fR\.
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
You can visit \fB/debug/pprof\fR on your site for an index of the available endpoints\. By default it will listen on localhost:6053\.
.
.P
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\.
.
.P
This plugin can only be used once per Server Block\.
.
.SH "SYNTAX"
.
.nf

pprof [ADDRESS]
.
.fi
.
.P
Optionally pprof takes an address; the default is \fBlocalhost:6053\fR\.
.
.P
An extra option can be set with this extended syntax:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

pprof [ADDRESS] {
   block [RATE]
}
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBblock\fR option enables block profiling, \fBRATE\fR defaults to 1\. \fBRATE\fR must be a positive value\. See Diagnostics, chapter profiling \fIhttps://golang\.org/doc/diagnostics\.html\fR and runtime\.SetBlockProfileRate \fIhttps://golang\.org/pkg/runtime/#SetBlockProfileRate\fR for what block profiling entails\.
.
.IP "" 0
.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
Enable a pprof endpoint:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

\&\. {
    pprof
}
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
And use the pprof tool to get statistics: \fBgo tool pprof http://localhost:6053\fR\.
.
.P
Listen on an alternate address:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

\&\. {
    pprof 10\.9\.8\.7:6060
}
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Listen on an all addresses on port 6060, and enable block profiling
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

\&\. {
    pprof :6060 {
       block
    }
}
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
