Debugging Server Parameters Globally (For all sites)

These commands are used for server level debugging.

ee debug [Options]
Options :
        -i                              # Interactive debug
        --nginx                         # Debug Nginx
        --rewrite                       # Debug Nginx rewrite rules
        --fpm                           # Debug FastCGI
        --fpm7                          # Debug FastCGI PHP 7.0
        --php                           # Debug PHP
        --php7                          # Debug PHP 7.0
        --mysql                         # Debug MySQL
        --import-slow-log-interval      # Import MySQL slow log to Anemometer
        --all                           # Debug all server paramenters

-i : This option enables interactive debugging and stop the debugging once ctrl+c is pressed

–-nginx : This option enables Nginx enable debug_connection for ip_address enlisted in/etc/easyengine/ee.conf. If ip_address is blank then its start debug_connection for 0.0.0.0/0 ip

–-rewrite : This option enable rewrite_log on in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file

–-php : This option enable PHP5-FPM slow log, xdebug profiling

–-fpm : This option change PHP5-FPM log_level from notice to debug level

–-php7 : This option enable PHP7.0-FPM slow log, xdebug profiling

–-fpm7 : This option change PHP7.0-FPM log_level from notice to debug level

–-mysql : This option enable MySQL slow log

–all : This option starts debugging all parametrs at server level.

To stop debugging for any parameter just pass off value for that parameter

For example you started debugging all parameters and you want to stop any one say nginx

ee debug --nginx=off

Similarly, you can do it for --all

ee debug --all=off

Site options

These commands are used for site level debugging.

ee debug [websitename] [Options]

        --all                     # Debug all site wide parameters

-i : This option enables interactive debugging and stop the debugging once ctrl+c is pressed

–-nginx : This option enables Nginx error_log for example.com in debugging mode.

–-rewrite : This option enable rewrite_log on for example.com

Start Debugging

Global

ee debug --all
ee debug --nginx --rewrite --fpm --php --mysql

To debug a specific part, you can use one or more command below:

ee debug --php
ee debug --php7
ee debug --nginx
ee debug --rewrite
ee debug --fpm
ee debug --fpm7
ee debug --mysql

To enable slow log import for each time interval, let say for each 5min interval, you can command below:

ee debug --mysql --import-slow-log-interval=5

To stop debug mode :

ee debug --all=off

Site-wide

To start complete debugging for a site, please use either command below:

ee debug example.com --all
ee debug example.com --wp --nginx --rewrite

To debug a specific part, you can use one or more command below:

ee debug example.com --wp
ee debug example.com --nginx
ee debug example.com --rewrite

To stop debug mode for single parameter:

ee debug example.com --wp=off

To stop debug mode for site :

ee debug example.com --all=off

Trigger Xdebug Profiling

If you are using --php flag to analyse xdebug profiling information you may be surprised to see nothing in webgrind.

This is because EasyEngine has set xdebug to profile only on trigger. This is good for profiling live sites as xdebug profiling data take too much space.

Triggering is easy. You can use this browser extension to trigger profiling for Firefox, Chrome, Safariand Opera
