There may be better methods but I'd just instrument the code to spit out timestamps at various points in its run. I'd use this method because the git module invokes the git command line frequently so chances are that one of the git command line calls is what's slow. Putting some code to log the time around the calls to external git will let you track down which call it is and also doesn't require you to learn a lot of python to get started.
For doing this quick and dirty, I would use the python-q library which does simplistic logging to $TMPDIR/q: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/q With it you can put lines in your code like: import q, time; q.q('before: %s' % time.time()) # [git module gets invoked] q.q('after: %s' % time.time()) Then $TMPDIR/q on the box ansible is talking to will contain these timestamps. If you want to get more involved, you can look into several modules from the python stdlib including timeit https://docs.python.org/2/library/timeit.html and profile: https://docs.python.org/2/library/profile.html but these will require learning a bit more python and probably aren't needed for the granularity of this particular problem. -Toshio On Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 6:46 AM, Josef Špak <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to find out why the git module is so incredibly slow. > > * I'd like to fix it if possible > * I need a better profiling tool than eyeballing git module run in htop on > the remote host. > > I tried https://github.com/rkern/line_profiler but I couldn't get anywhere, > probably because I'm a python newbie. > > Would anyone be able give me a few pointers on how to profile ansible module > code? > > > Thanks, > > Josef > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ansible Project" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ansible-project/2597e894-30e6-4ada-afb1-3e14fe37aa90%40googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
