[PATCH][LNT] Add support for more detailed profiling to lnt.

[Kristof Beyls]

I didn’t know about snakeviz yet, thanks for the pointer!

It seems like the alternative visualization using a sunburst takes some getting used to – but when combined with a more traditional call graph view allows to understand the profiles more fully?

Nice!

 

If you aren't already aware of it, SnakeViz is a really nice web UI for looking at cProfile traces:

Hi,

 

The attached patch adds support for getting call-graph profiles from lnt runserver. It does this by adding
a new –profiler-dir command line option, which results in a pstat profile to be stored to a separate file
in that sub directory, per web request. I find the extra call graph info very
useful when trying to understand what the bottlenecks are in the rendering of pages by the
lnt webserver.

 

The pstat files can easily be converted into something graphical by a command like:

$ gprof2dot -f pstats profile_dir/POST.submitRun.000591ms.1435075964.prof |  dot -Tsvg > submitRun.svg

 

I’ve attached such an svg graph for a request of the daily report page to give an idea of
the kind of information this more detailed profiling can give.

 

Does the patch look OK to commit?

 

Thanks,

 

Kristof
