# Configure tracing to troubleshoot Grafana
You can set up the `grafana-server` process to enable certain diagnostics when it starts. This can be useful
when investigating certain performance problems. It's _not_ recommended to have these enabled by default.
## Turn on profiling
The `grafana-server` can be started with the command-line option `-profile` to enable profiling, `-profile-addr` to override the default HTTP address (`localhost`), and
`-profile-port` to override the default HTTP port (`6060`) where the `pprof` debugging endpoints are available. For example:
```bash
./grafana server -profile -profile-addr=0.0.0.0 -profile-port=8080
```
Note that `pprof` debugging endpoints are served on a different port than the Grafana HTTP server.
You can configure or override profiling settings using environment variables:
```bash
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_PROFILING_ENABLED=true
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_PROFILING_ADDR=0.0.0.0
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_PROFILING_PORT=8080
```
Refer to [Go command pprof](https://golang.org/cmd/pprof/) for more information about how to collect and analyze profiling data.
## Use tracing
The `grafana-server` can be started with the arguments `-tracing` to enable tracing and `-tracing-file` to override the default trace file (`trace.out`) where trace result is written to. For example:
```bash
./grafana server -tracing -tracing-file=/tmp/trace.out
```
You can configure or override profiling settings using environment variables:
```bash
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_TRACING_ENABLED=true
export GF_DIAGNOSTICS_TRACING_FILE=/tmp/trace.out
```
View the trace in a web browser (Go required to be installed):
```bash
go tool trace <trace file>
2019/11/24 22:20:42 Parsing trace...
2019/11/24 22:20:42 Splitting trace...
2019/11/24 22:20:42 Opening browser. Trace viewer is listening on http://127.0.0.1:39735
```
For more information about how to analyze trace files, refer to [Go command trace](https://golang.org/cmd/trace/).
