Automatically profile the Go applications when CPU or memory utilization crosses specific threshold levels against the Linux container CPU quota and memory limit.

Once you start the autopprof, the autopprof process will periodically check the CPU and memory utilization of the Go applications. If the resource utilization crosses the specified threshold for each type of resource, the autopprof will automatically profile the application (heap or cpu) and report the profiling report to the specific reporter ( e.g. Slack).

CPU Profile Report Example	Memory Profile Report Example

go get -u github.com/daangn/autopprof

If your application is running on non-linux systems, you should check the ErrUnsupportedPlatform error returned from autopprof.Start() and handle it properly.

package main

import (
	"errors"
	"log"

	"github.com/daangn/autopprof"
	"github.com/daangn/autopprof/report"
)

func main() {
	err := autopprof.Start(autopprof.Option{
		CPUThreshold: 0.8, // Default: 0.75.
		MemThreshold: 0.8, // Default: 0.75.
		Reporter: report.NewSlackReporter(
			&report.SlackReporterOption{
				App:     "YOUR_APP_NAME",
				Token:   "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE",
				Channel: "#REPORT_CHANNEL",
			},
		),
	})
	if errors.Is(err, autopprof.ErrUnsupportedPlatform) {
		// You can just skip the autopprof.
		log.Println(err)
	} else if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}
	defer autopprof.Stop()

	// Your code here.
}

You can create a custom reporter by implementing the report.Reporter interface.

Benchmark the overhead of watching the CPU and memory utilization. The overhead is very small, so we don't have to worry about the performance degradation.

You can run the benchmark test with this command.
