Xdebug trace GUI? [closed]

Answer 1

WebGrind provides a nice, simple way to view CacheGrind files via a browser:

• https://github.com/jokkedk/webgrind

But look at XHProf which is open sourced by Facebook, is very easy to setup, captures many important metrics, and even generates call graphs:

• http://pecl.php.net/package/xhprof
• http://mirror.facebook.net/facebook/xhprof/doc.html

Answer 2

You may try Xdebug Trace Explorer. View in Tree-style. I built it after looking around and didn't find any matching solutions. Still not optimize for large file yet:

Answer 3

There's a script for vim at xdebug.org that lets you do 'code folding' to make them a little bit easier to dig into, but I've never seen anything that can parse that format into any kind of graphical representation.

Answer 4

I just using started xdebug today came across this problem a few ahours ago too. I'd love a cachegrind style gui for xdebug traces.

A lot of the lower level calls contain uneccesary information like strlen() calls. I found that xdebug starts the trace file has 21 spaces for top level calls to functions, 23 spaces for second-level calls, 25 and so on. So you can do is grep out lines with more than 22 or more spaces to list top level calls, 24 for sencond and higher level calls etc.

cat trace.xt | grep -v '                      '

The web-based trace parser sounds a good idea. It could parse the output into a bunch of nested ul and li elements that could be collapsed. I'm tight for time too, but if you're up for a collaboration lemme know.
