<title>Clinic.js Doctor</title> - v{{version}}
<code>clinic doctor</code> is the first step in profiling your application.
It will show you what kind of problem you are having and recommend the path
forward.
To run <code>clinic doctor</code>
<code>clinic doctor -- node server.js</code>
Once you exit (Ctrl-C) the process, your report will open in a browser window. You can disable this behavior:
<code>clinic doctor --open=false -- node server.js</code>
If profiling on a server, it can be useful to only do data collection:
<code>clinic doctor --collect-only -- node server.js</code>
You can then transfer the data and visualize it locally:
<code>clinic doctor --visualize-only PID.clinic-doctor-sample</code>
You can use the --autocannon flag to simulate load on your server.
--autocannon accepts configuration for autocannon using "subarg" syntax:
<code>clinic doctor --autocannon [ -m POST /api/example ] -- node server.js</code>
When configuring --autocannon, the $PORT environment variable contains the
port your server is listening on:
<code>clinic doctor --autocannon [ -m POST 'http://localhost:$PORT/?\$page=1' ] -- node server.js</code>
Note that dollar signs ($) appearing in the URL must be escaped, else they
will be treated as environment variables as well.
<h1>Flags</h1>
-h | --help Display Help

--visualize-only datapath Build or rebuild visualization from data
--sample-interval interval Sample interval in milliseconds
--on-port Run a script when the server starts listening on a port.
