# pprof
## Name
*pprof* - publishes runtime profiling data at endpoints under `/debug/pprof`.
## Description
You can visit `/debug/pprof` on your site for an index of the available endpoints. By default it
will listen on localhost:6053.
This is a debugging tool. Certain requests (such as collecting execution traces) can be slow. If
you use pprof on a live server, consider restricting access or enabling it only temporarily.
This plugin can only be used once per Server Block.
## Syntax
~~~
pprof [ADDRESS] {
block [RATE]
}
~~~
- If not specified, **ADDRESS** defaults to localhost:6053.
- `block` option allow to enable the `block` profiling. see [Diagnostics, chapter profiling](https://golang.org/doc/diagnostics.html).
if you need to use `block` profile, set a positive value to **RATE**. See [runtime.SetBlockProfileRate](https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#SetBlockProfileRate).
if not specified, **RATE** default's to 1. if `block` option is not specified the `block` profiling is disabled.
## Examples
Enable pprof endpoints:
~~~
. {
pprof
}
~~~
And use the pprof tool to get statistics: `go tool pprof http://localhost:6053`.
Listen on an alternate address:
~~~ txt
. {
pprof 10.9.8.7:6060
}
~~~
Listen on an all addresses on port 6060: and enable block profiling
~~~ txt
. {
pprof :6060 {
block
}
}
~~~
