# Advanced debugging
This guide covers more advanced debugging topics such as collecting
runtime profiling data from GitOps Toolkit components.
As a user, this page normally should be a last resort, but you may
be asked by a maintainer to share a [collected profile](#collecting-a-profile)
to debug e.g. performance issues.
## Pprof
The [GitOps Toolkit components](../components/index.md) serve [`pprof`](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/pprof/)
runtime profiling data on their metrics HTTP server (default `:8080`).
### Endpoints
| Endpoint | Path |
|-------------|------------------------|
| Index | `/debug/pprof/` |
| CPU profile | `/debug/pprof/profile` |
| Symbol | `/debug/pprof/symbol` |
| Trace | `/debug/pprof/trace` |
### Collecting a profile
To collect a profile, port-forward to the component's metrics endpoint and
collect the data from the [endpoint](#endpoints) of choice:
```console
$ kubectl port-forward -n <namespace> deploy/<component> 8080
$ curl -Sk -v http://localhost:8080/debug/pprof/heap > heap.out
```
The collected profile [can be analyzed using `go`](https://blog.golang.org/pprof),
or shared with one of the maintainers.
