# Cpu Profiler Config

## Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for cpu profiler config tasks within the Performance Testing domain.

## When to Use

This skill activates automatically when you:
- Mention "cpu profiler config" in your request
- Ask about cpu profiler config patterns or best practices
- Need help with performance testing skills covering load testing, stress testing, benchmarking, and performance monitoring.

## Instructions

1. Provides step-by-step guidance for cpu profiler config
2. Follows industry best practices and patterns
3. Generates production-ready code and configurations
4. Validates outputs against common standards

## Examples

**Example: Basic Usage**
Request: "Help me with cpu profiler config"
Result: Provides step-by-step guidance and generates appropriate configurations


## Prerequisites

- Relevant development environment configured
- Access to necessary tools and services
- Basic understanding of performance testing concepts


## Output

Overview

This skill automates configuration tasks for CPU profilers in performance testing workflows. It helps generate, validate, and adapt profiler configs so you can capture reliable CPU sampling and tracing during load, stress, and benchmarking runs. Use it to ensure consistent, production-ready profiler settings across environments.

How this skill works

The skill inspects requested profiler parameters and environment details, then produces step-by-step configuration files and CLI snippets tailored to common profiler tools and frameworks. It validates outputs against typical requirements (required fields, permission checks, tool availability) and recommends fixes for detected issues. The skill can also suggest runtime flags and sampling strategies to balance overhead and signal quality.

When to use it

  • Preparing profiler settings before a load or stress test
  • Converting a manual profiling workflow into automated config files
  • Validating profiler configuration for CI or pre-production runs
  • Troubleshooting sampling gaps, high overhead, or permission errors
  • Standardizing profiler options across multiple services or environments

Best practices

  • Start with conservative sampling rates and increase only if necessary to limit overhead
  • Include metadata and timestamps in outputs for correlation with load events
  • Validate tool availability and permissions before scheduled runs
  • Use environment-specific overrides to avoid exposing heavy profiles in production
  • Document and source-control generated configs for reproducibility

Example use cases

  • Generate a CPU profiler config for a CI job that runs nightly benchmarks
  • Produce a sampling strategy and flags for profiling a microservice under load
  • Validate an existing profiler config and provide fixes for missing fields or bad flags
  • Create environment-aware configs so local, staging, and production runs use different sampling limits
  • Diagnose permission denied errors by listing required privileges and remediation steps

FAQ

What inputs do I need to provide?

Provide target runtime (language or platform), intended sampling rate or duration, environment (local/staging/prod), and any tool preferences.

Can it generate configs for multiple profiler tools?

Yes. It can output patterns and snippets for common profilers and suggest equivalent flags for different tools when possible.
