Tideways integration

Tideways is an application performance management tool that enables profiling, alerting and error reporting.

---

Brief

This plugin aims to:

1. Set meaningful names, based on Moodle page types, against transactions for easier identification of interesting transactions.
2. Install instrumentation for SQL Server with the sqlsrv extension.

Installation

1. Install this repository to /local/tideways.

2. Run the Moodle upgrade process, either via the UI or CLI.

3. Add the following to your /config.php above the /lib/setup.php include:

   require_once __DIR__ . '/local/tideways/bootstrap.php';
   local_tideways_pre_setup();

4. Add the following below the /lib/setup.php include:

   local_tideways_post_setup();

Configuration

$CFG->local_tideways can be set (prior to calling the local_tideways_* functions) to an array containing the following keys to alter the plugin's behaviour:

• development causes the profiler to be started in development mode, where it always collects a complete trace and profile. This is useful for debugging this plugin but should not be enabled in production environments.
• profiler_options allows you to override options passed to the profiler at start-time.
