Introduction

This addon adds the XHGui service to a project served by DDEV.

XhGui is a graphical interface for XHProf profiling data that can store the results in MongoDB or PDO database.

See https://performance.wikimedia.org/xhgui/ for an demonstration of XHGui data collection.

Warning

This addon is for debugging in a development environment. Profiling in a production environment is not recommended.

Usage

The service will automatically start when run: ddev start or ddev restart.

By default, xhgui will be available at https://yourproject.ddev.site:8143. Use the following command to launch the xhgui in your browser:

ddev xhgui

For detailed information about a single request, click on the "Method" keyword on the "Recent runs" dashboard.

Remember, if you updated settings.ddev.php or wp-config-ddev.php, these file will be overwritten unless you remove the #ddev-generated.

Use the following command to check the logs:

ddev logs -s xhgui

Configuration

To configure Xhgui, update .ddev/xhgui/xhgui.config.php.

For example, to set xhgui to use Asia/Toyko timezone for dates:

• Remove #ddev-generated from .ddev/xhgui/xhgui.config.php

• Change the timezone value

    'timezone' => 'Asia/Tokyo',
    'date.format' => 'Y-m-d H:i:s',
