# 14.6 pprof

A great feature of Go's standard library is its code performance monitoring tools. These packages exist in two places:

	net/http/pprof
	
	runtime/pprof

In fact, `net/http/pprof` simply exposes runtime profiling data from the `runtime/pprof` package on an HTTP port. 

## pprof support in Beego 

The Beego framework currently supports pprof, however it is not not turned on by default. If you need to test the performance of your application, (for instance by viewing the execution goroutine such information, in fact, Go's default package "net/http/pprof" already has this feature, and if Go manner in accordance with the default Web, you can use the default, but because beego repackaged ServHTTP function, so if you can not open the default includes this feature, so the need for internal reform beego support pprof.

- First in our `beego.Run` function, we choose whether or not to automatically load the performance pack according to our configuration variable (in this case, PprofOn):

		if PprofOn {
			BeeApp.RegisterController(`/debug/pprof`, &ProfController{})
			BeeApp.RegisterController(`/debug/pprof/:pp([\w]+)`, &ProfController{})
		}

- Designing `ProfController`

		package beego

		import (
			"net/http/pprof"
		)
		
		type ProfController struct {
			Controller
		}
		
		func (this *ProfController) Get() {
			switch this.Ctx.Params[":pp"] {
			default:
				pprof.Index(this.Ctx.ResponseWriter, this.Ctx.Request)
			case "":
				pprof.Index(this.Ctx.ResponseWriter, this.Ctx.Request)
			case "cmdline":
				pprof.Cmdline(this.Ctx.ResponseWriter, this.Ctx.Request)
			case "profile":
				pprof.Profile(this.Ctx.ResponseWriter, this.Ctx.Request)
			case "symbol":
				pprof.Symbol(this.Ctx.ResponseWriter, this.Ctx.Request)
			}
			this.Ctx.ResponseWriter.WriteHeader(200)
		}


## Getting started

From the above, we can see that enabling pprof is as simple as setting the `PprofOn` configuration variable to `true`:

	beego.PprofOn = true

You can then open the following URL in your browser to see the following interface:

Figure 14.7 current system goroutine, heap, thread information

By clicking on a goroutine, we can see a lot of detailed information:

![](images/14.6.pprof2.png?raw=true)

Figure 14.8 shows the current goroutine details

Of course, we can also get more details from the command line: 

	go tool pprof http://localhost:8080/debug/pprof/profile
	
This time, the program will begin profiling the application for a period of 30 seconds, during which time it will repeatedly refresh the page in the browser in an attempt to gather CPU usage and performance data.
