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.

Getting started

• Install the ddev-xhgui add-on:

  ddev get ddev/ddev-xhgui
  ddev restart

Framework configuration

CakePHP

• Install perftools/php-profiler

  ddev composer require perftools/php-profiler --dev

• Add the following line to src/Application.php to include the collector.

  public function bootstrap(): void
  {
      parent::bootstrap();
  
      // Below is the new code to add
      if (file_exists("/mnt/ddev_config/xhgui/collector/xhgui.collector.php")) {
          require_once "/mnt/ddev_config/xhgui/collector/xhgui.collector.php";
      }

• Run ddev xhprof to start profiling.

  • XHGui is now available at https://yourproject.ddev.site:8142

Drupal

• Install perftools/php-profiler

  ddev composer require perftools/php-profiler --dev

• Add the following line to web/sites/default/settings.php to include the collector.

  if (file_exists("/mnt/ddev_config/xhgui/collector/xhgui.collector.php")) {
  require_once "/mnt/ddev_config/xhgui/collector/xhgui.collector.php";
  }

• Run ddev xhprof to start profiling.

  • XHGui is now available at https://yourproject.ddev.site:8142

Silverstripe

• Install perftools/php-profiler

  ddev composer require perftools/php-profiler --dev

• Add the following line to public/index.php, right after the autoload includes, to include the collector.

  if (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
  require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
  } elseif (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
  } else {
    header('HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error');
    echo "autoload.php not found";
    exit(1);
  }
  if (file_exists("/mnt/ddev_config/xhgui/collector/xhgui.collector.php")) {
  require_once "/mnt/ddev_config/xhgui/collector/xhgui.collector.php";
  }

• Run ddev xhprof to start profiling

  • XHGui is now available at https://yourproject.ddev.site:8142

WordPress

• Install perftools/php-profiler

  • If using bedrock

  ddev composer require perftools/php-profiler --dev

  • If using vanilla WordPress:

  wget https://github.com/perftools/php-profiler/archive/refs/tags/0.18.0.tar.gz
  tar -xvf 0.18.0.tar.gz

• Add the following line to wp-config-ddev.php to include the collector.

  require_once __DIR__ . '/php-profiler-0.18.0/autoload.php';
  if (file_exists("/mnt/ddev_config/xhgui/collector/xhgui.collector.php")) {
   require_once "/mnt/ddev_config/xhgui/collector/xhgui.collector.php";
  }

• Remove #ddev-generated from wp-config-ddev.php to prevent DDEV overriding it.

• Run ddev xhprof to start profiling

  • XHGui is now available at https://yourproject.ddev.site:8142

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',
