=head1 NAME
Devel::NYTProf::Apache - Profile mod_perl applications with Devel::NYTProf
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# in your Apache config file with mod_perl installed
PerlPassEnv NYTPROF
PerlModule Devel::NYTProf::Apache
If you're using virtual hosts with C<PerlOptions> that include either
C<+Parent> or C<+Clone> then see L</VIRTUAL HOSTS> below.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows mod_perl applications to be profiled using
C<Devel::NYTProf>.
If the NYTPROF environment variable isn't set I<at the time
Devel::NYTProf::Apache is loaded> then Devel::NYTProf::Apache will issue a
warning and default it to:
file=/tmp/nytprof.$$.out:addpid=1:endatexit=1
The file actually created by NTProf will also have the process id appended to
it because the C<addpid> option is enabled by default.
See L<Devel::NYTProf/"ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"> for
more details on the settings effected by this environment variable.
Try using C<PerlPassEnv> in your httpd.conf if you can set the NYTPROF
environment variable externally. Note that if you set the NYTPROF environment
variable externally then the file name obviously can't include the parent
process id. For example, to set stmts=0 externally, use:
NYTPROF=file=/tmp/nytprof.out:out:addpid=1:endatexit=1:stmts=0
Each profiled mod_perl process will need to have terminated cleanly before you can
successfully read the profile data file. The simplest approach is to start the
httpd, make some requests (e.g., 100 of the same request), then stop it and
process the profile data.
Alternatively you could send a TERM signal to the httpd worker process to
terminate that one process. The parent httpd process will start up another one
for you ready for more profiling.
=head2 Example httpd.conf
It's usually a good idea to use just one child process when profiling, which you
can do by setting the C<MaxClients> to 1 in httpd.conf.
Set C<MaxRequestsPerChild> to 0 to avoid worker processes exiting and
restarting during the profiling, which would split the profile data across
multiple files.
Using an C<IfDefine> blocks lets you leave the profile configuration in place
and enable it whenever it's needed by adding C<-D NYTPROF> to the httpd startup
command line.
<IfDefine NYTPROF>
MaxClients 1
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
PerlModule Devel::NYTProf::Apache
</IfDefine>
With that configuration you should get two profile files, one for the parent
process and one for the worker.
=head1 VIRTUAL HOSTS
If your httpd configuration includes virtual hosts with C<PerlOptions> that
include either C<+Parent> or C<+Clone> then mod_perl2 will create a new perl
interpreter to handle requests for that virtual host.
This causes some issues for profiling.
If C<Devel::NYTProf::Apache> is loaded in the top-level configuration then
activity in any virtual hosts that use their own perl interpreter won't be
profiled. Normal virtual hosts will be profiled just fine.
You can profile a I<single> virtual host that uses its own perl interpreter by
loading C<Devel::NYTProf::Apache> I<inside the configuration for that virtual
host>. In this case I<do not> use C<PerlModule> directive. You need to use
a C<Perl> directive instead, like this:
<VirtualHost *:1234>
...
<Perl> use Devel::NYTProf::Apache; </Perl>
...
</VirtualHost>
=head1 LIMITATIONS
Profiling mod_perl on Windows is not supported because NYTProf currently
doesn't support threads.
=head1 TROUBLESHOOTING
Truncated profile: Profiles for large applications can take a while to write to
the disk. Allow sufficient time after stopping apache, or check the process has
actually exited, before trying to read the profile.
Truncated profile: The mod_perl child_terminate() function terminates the child
without giving perl an opportunity to cleanup. Since C<Devel::NYTProf::Apache>
doesn't intercept the mod_perl child_terminate() function (yet) the profile
will be corrupted if it's called. You're most likely to encounter this when
using L<Apache::SizeLimit>, so you may want to disable it while profiling.
