This is a graphical front end designed to store and present the profiling information provided by the tideways Extension. YaxGUI will only support tideways because all other extensions will not be updated to run with PHP7 (yet).
- uprofiler: https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/uprofiler/issues/28
- xhprof: no statement yet
I took the preinheimer/xhprof and removed the extension because I only want a GUI with MySQL and PDO. The fork I am now running will be changed step by step... So...
- Naming of methods/functions have xhprof (can be better...)
- perhaps switch to doctrine
- Better UI (I think about AdminLTE )
- Charts with ChartJS
- working with composer and bower packages
- switch to ext-tideways
- XHProf UI - Uses MySQL as a backend but only support xhprof and old ext-mysql
- XHGui - Uses MongoDB as a backend
- XHProf.io - Uses MySQL backend, more normalized storage schema
- It includes a header.php document you can use with PHP's auto_prepend_file directive. It sets up profiling by initilizing a few variables, and settting register_shutdown_function with the footer. Once started profiles are done when requested (?_profile=1), or randomly. Profiled pages display a link to their profile results at the bottom of the page (this can be disabled on a blacklist based for specific documents. e.g. pages generating XML, images, etc.).
- For tips on including header.php on an nginx + php-fpm install take a look at: http://www.justincarmony.com/blog/2012/04/23/php-fpm-nginx-php_value-and-multiple-values/
- The GUI is a bit prettier (Thanks to Graham Slater)
- It uses a MySQL backend, the database schema is stored in xhprof_runs.php
- There's a frontend to view different runs, compare runs to the same url, etc.
- Listing 25, 50 most recent runs
- Display most expensive (cpu), longest running, or highest memory usage runs for the day
- It introduces the concept of "Similar" URLs. Consider:
- http://news.example.com/?story=23
- http://news.example.com/?story=25 While the URLs are different, the PHP code execution path is likely identical, by tweaking the method in xhprof_runs.php you can help the frontend be aware that these urls are identical.
- Highcharts is used to graph stats over requests for an easy heads up display.
Besides a simple PHP running on your favourite web server you will also need following packages:
- php-tideways
- php5-mysql
- graphviz (uses
dot
to generate callgraphs)
- Install your favourite mix of PHP and web server
- Install MySQL server
- Clone the project to some folder
- Map the sub folder
xhprof_html
to be accessible over HTTP - Move
xhprof_lib/config.sample.php
toxhprof_lib/config.php
- Edit
xhprof_lib/config.php
- Update the SQL server configuration
- Update the URL of the service (should point to
xhprof_html
over HTTP) - Update the
dot_binary
configuration - otherwise no call graphs! - Update the
controlIPs
variable to enable access. - For a development machine you can set this to
false
to disable IP checks. - Import the DB schema (it is just 1 table)
- See the SQL at xhprof_runs.php
- Add a PHP configuration to enable the profiling
- If using Apache you can edit your virtual host configuration
- Add
php_admin_value auto_prepend_file "/path/to/xhprof/external/header.php"
- Visit http://your-server/xhprof/xhprof_html/ and be amazed!
- To get profiler information showing up there visit your page with a
GET
variable_profile=1
. - For example
http://localhost/?_profile=1
