by grafana
Grafana Pyroscope is a continuous profiling platform that helps debug performance issues down to a single line of code by visualizing and analyzing application profiling data.
Continuous Profiling Platform. Debug performance issues down to a single line of code
Primary Use Case
Pyroscope is used by developers and DevOps teams to proactively optimize resource usage such as CPU, memory, and I/O, and reactively diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks during incidents. It enables detailed root cause analysis with line-level profiling data across distributed systems.
- Continuous profiling of applications for CPU, memory, and I/O usage
- Proactive and reactive performance monitoring and incident response
- Queryless, intuitive Explore Profiles UI integrated with Grafana
- Supports multiple client SDKs for data collection and Grafana alloy for data pulling
- Centralized Pyroscope Server for storing and processing profiling data
- Easy local deployment via Docker and Homebrew
- Integration with Grafana Cloud for seamless UI and server management
Installation
- brew install pyroscope-io/brew/pyroscope
- brew services start pyroscope
- docker run -it -p 4040:4040 grafana/pyroscope
Usage
>_ brew install pyroscope-io/brew/pyroscopeInstalls the Pyroscope server locally using Homebrew.
>_ brew services start pyroscopeStarts the Pyroscope server as a background service on macOS.
>_ docker run -it -p 4040:4040 grafana/pyroscopeRuns the Pyroscope server in a Docker container, exposing port 4040.
- Integrate Pyroscope profiling data with SIEM platforms for enriched incident detection and faster root cause analysis.
- Use continuous profiling to proactively identify performance anomalies that may indicate security incidents or malicious activity.
- Leverage Pyroscope’s line-level profiling during incident response to pinpoint exact code paths exploited or impacted.
- Deploy Pyroscope in DevSecOps pipelines to automate performance and security regression testing before production releases.
- Combine Pyroscope with threat hunting tools to correlate performance bottlenecks with potential attacker behaviors.
