NAME

Dancer::Plugin::NYTProf - easy Devel::NYTProf profiling for Dancer apps

DESCRIPTION

A plugin to provide easy profiling for Dancer applications, using the venerable Devel::NYTProf.

By simply loading this plugin, you'll have the detailed, helpful profiling provided by Devel::NYTProf.

Each individual request to your app is profiled. Going to the URL /nytprof in your app will present a list of profiles; selecting one will invoke nytprofhtml to generate the HTML reports (unless they already exist), then serve them up.

WARNING This is an early version of this code which is still in development. In general this isn't a plugin I'd advise to use in a production environment anyway, but in particular, it uses system to execute nytprofhtml, and I need to very carefully re-examine the code to make sure that user input cannot be used to nefarious effect. You are recommended to only use this in your development environment.

CONFIGURATION

The plugin will work by default without any configuration required - it will default to writing profiling data into a dir named profdir within your Dancer application's appdir, present profiling output at /nytprof (not yet configurable), and profile all requests.

Below is an example of the options you can configure:

plugins:
    NYTProf:
        profdir: '/tmp/profiledata'
        nytprofhtmlpath: '/usr/local/bin/nytprofhtml'

More configuration (such as the URL at which output is produced, and options to control which requests get profiled) will be added in a future version. (If there's something you'd like to see soon, do contact me and let me know - it'll likely get done a lot quicker then!)
