Run and clear diagnostic profiles

You use the Diagnostics module for profiling of various time-intensive operations such as HTTP requests, background tasks, database queries, and page compilations. Then, you can view a report with the results of the profiling. 

EXAMPLE: You want to check how a certain action is executed, for example - opening a news item and leaving a comment.
To get a report, you first start related profilers (database, HTTP requests), execute the action, stop profiling, and view the report.

The actions available in the Diagnostics module's Profilers page are:

 

  • Start profiling
    Click Start for the selected profilers.
  • Stop profiling
    Click Stop for each profiler you want to stop.
  • Clear diagnostics data
    Click Clear data  on a selected profiler, or click Clear all data  to delete all tracing information generated to the database for the one or all profilers.

IMPORTANT: Database profiling can generate a lot of tracing data in a short period of time. When you are not actively collecting diagnostic data, be sure to stop the database profilers.
