flask-profiler work in production mode?

[havok2063]

Does the flask-profiler only work in debug mode? While this is great for debugging, I'd like to collect statistics while users are navigating my Flask app in a real production environment. Is this possible? If so, can you provide an example of the config info that needs to be set?

It can work regardless of what the debug mode is. Please have a look at quick start examples: https://github.com/muatik/flask-profiler#quick-start

You can turn on/off it using the enabled directive as follows.

If debug mode is on, then the flask profiler is on.

app.config["flask_profiler"] = {
    "enabled": app.config["DEBUG"]
}

Flask-profiler is always on:

app.config["flask_profiler"] = {
    "enabled": True
}

and if you want to use it in a production environment, do not forget to turn basic authentication on so that only people know username and password can access to flask-profiler.

app.config["flask_profiler"] = {
    "enabled": True
    "basicAuth":{
        "enabled": True,
        "username": "admin",
        "password": "admin"
    }
}

Ok. That makes sense. I did read the quickstart, but it wasn't clear about debug vs production. And I only say

    app.config["flask_profiler"] = {
        "enabled": app.config["DEBUG"],
    }

The next release will also have a feature to do sampling in production, making flask-profiler lean and more useful for production workloads. Refer to #44 for details.

@muatik : I think this issue can also be closed.
