Webgrind

========

Webgrind is an [Xdebug](http://www.xdebug.org) profiling web frontend in PHP. It implements a subset of the features of [kcachegrind](https://kcachegrind.github.io/) and installs in seconds and works on all platforms. For quick'n'dirty optimizations it does the job. Here's a screenshot showing the output from profiling:



Features

--------

  * Super simple, cross platform installation - obviously :)

  * Track time spent in functions by self cost or inclusive cost. Inclusive cost is time inside function + calls to other functions.

  * See if time is spent in internal or user functions.

  * See where any function was called from and which functions it calls.

  * Generate a call graph using [gprof2dot.py](https://github.com/jrfonseca/gprof2dot)

Suggestions for improvements and new features are more than welcome - this is just a start.

Installation

------------

  1. Download webgrind

  2. Unzip package to favourite path accessible by webserver.

  3. Load webgrind in browser and start profiling

Alternatively, on PHP 5.4+ run the application using the PHP built-in server

with the command `composer serve` or `php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 index.php` if you

are not using Composer.

For faster preprocessing, give write access to the `bin` subdirectory, or compile manually:

  * Linux / Mac OS X: execute `make` in the unzipped folder (requires GCC or Clang.)

  * Windows: execute `nmake -f NMakeFile` in the unzipped folder (requires Visual Studio 2015 or higher.)

See the [Installation Wiki page](https://github.com/jokkedk/webgrind/wiki/Installation) for more.

Use with Docker

---------------

Instead of uploading webgrind to a web server or starting a local one, you can use the [official Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/jokkedk/webgrind) to

quickly inspect existing xDebug profiling files. To use the Docker image, run the following command with

`/path/to/xdebug/files` replaced by the actual path of your profiling files.

```

docker run --rm -v /path/to/xdebug/files:/tmp -p 80:80 jokkedk/webgrind:latest

```

Now open `http://localhost` in your browser. After using webgrind you can stop the Docker container by pressing

`CTRL / Strg` + `C`.

To use the built-in file viewer, mount the appropriate files under `/host` in the container.
