CLI tool to profile Terraform runs, written in Go.
Main features:
- Modern CLI (cobra-based) with autocomplete
- Read logs straight from your Terraform process (using pipe) or a log file
- Can generate global stats, resource-level stats or visualizations
- Provides many levels of granularity and aggregation and customizable outputs

tf-profile is a CLI tool to profile Terraform runs
Usage:
tf-profile [command]- Head over to the releases page (https://github.com/QuintenBruynseraede/tf-profile/releases)
- Download the correct binary for your operating system
- Copy it to a path that is on your
$PATH. On a Linux system,/usr/local/binis the most common location.
If you want to try tf-profile without installing anything, you can run it using Docker (or similar).
❱ cat my_log_file.log | docker run -i qbruynseraede/tf-profile:0.5.0 stats
Key Value
Number of resources created 1510
Cumulative duration 36m19s
Longest apply time 7m18s
Longest apply resource time_sleep.foo[*]
...Optionally, define an alias:
❱ alias tf-profile=docker run -i qbruynseraede/tf-profile:0.5.0
❱ cat my_log_file.log | tf-profileThis requires at least version 1.23 of the go cli.
❱ git clone git@github.com:QuintenBruynseraede/tf-profile.git
❱ cd tf-profile && go build .
❱ sudo ln -s $(pwd)/tf-profile /usr/local/bin # Optional: only if you want to run tf-profile from other directories
❱ tf-profile --help
tf-profile is a CLI tool to profile Terraform runs
Usage:
tf-profile [command]tf-profile handles input from stdin and from files. These two commands are therefore equivalent:
❱ terraform apply -auto-approve | tf-profile table
❱ terraform apply -auto-approve > log.txt && tf-profile table log.txtFour major commands are supported:
- 🔗
tf-profile stats: provide general statistics about a Terraform run - 🔗
tf-profile table: provide detailed, resource-level statistics about a Terraform run - 🔗
tf-profile filter: filter logs to include only certain resources - 🔗
tf-profile graph: generate a visual overview of a Terraform run.
tf-profile stats is the most basic command. Given a Terraform log, it will only provide high-level statistics.
❱ terraform apply -auto-approve > log.txt
❱ tf-profile stats log.txt

tf-profile table will parse a log and provide per-resource metrics.

aws_ssm_parameter.p2 1 0s / / Created None Created For a full description of the options, see the reference page.
tf-profile filter filters logs to include only certain resources. Wildcards are supported to filter on multiple resources.
❱ tf-profile filter "module.*.null_resource.*" log.txt
# module.mod1.null_resource.foo will be created
+ resource "null_resource" "foo" {
...
}
# module.mod2.null_resource.bar will be created
+ resource "null_resource" "bar" {
...
}
module.mod1.null_resource.foo: Creating...
module.mod2.null_resource.bar: Creating...
module.mod1.null_resource.foo: Creation complete after 1s [id=foo]
module.mod2.null_resource.bar: Creation complete after 1s [id=bar]For a full description of the options, see the reference page.
tf-profile graph is used to visualize your terraform logs. It generates a Gantt-like chart that shows in which order resources were created. tf-profile does not actually create the final image, but generates a script file that Gnuplot understands.
❱ tf-profile graph my_log.log --out graph.png --size 2000,1000 | gnuplot
Disclaimer: Terraform's logs do not contain any absolute timestamps. We can only derive the order in which resources started and finished their modifications. Therefore, the output of tf-profile graph gives only a general indication of how long something actually took. In other words: the X axis is meaningless, apart from the fact that it's monotonically increasing.
