Django Snakeviz Profiling

Django Snakeviz Profiling integrates snakeviz along with a db query display into a django middleware that can show results inline in your application.

No migrations are required nor do any extra url routes need to be added to your application, only requiring to install one piece of middleware.

Installation

pip install django-snakeviz-profiling

In your settings file, add the following middleware as close to the top as possible to cover as much code as possible:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    "django_snakeviz_profiling.SnakevizProfilingMiddleware",
    ...
]

Add django_snakeviz_profiling to your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "django_snakeviz_profiling",
]

Finally, add the following config setting:

SNAKEVIZ_PROFILING = "PLEASE_PROFILE_REQUESTS"

Usage

On any request, add the following GET parameter to your url:

SNAKEVIZ_PROFILING=PLEASE_PROFILE_REQUESTS

, and instead of the regular page, you will be presented with a profile output from the request.

Note that if django_snakeviz_profiling is used, individual requests will be dramatically slower, so be careful using this in prod!
