Rack Timer provides timing output around each of your Rails rack-based middleware classes. It will log output to your Rails application log. Rack Timer has been tested with Rails 3.0.10, and it appears slightly incompatible with Rails 3.1.x.

To use, simply add rack_timer to your Gemfile:

gem "rack_timer"

By default the gem will only log Middleware that takes longer than the default Log Threshold of 1.0 ms. Set the RACK_TIMER_LOG_THRESHOLD environment variable to tweak this.

If you are tracking request queuing time via New Relic's suggested header (HTTP_X_REQUEST_START or HTTP_X_QUEUE_START), then Rack Timer will output how much time elapsed between when this header was set and when the first piece of middleware executes. See New Relic's documentation for more info: https://newrelic.com/docs/features/tracking-front-end-time


Example output of Rack Timer with RACK_TIMER_LOG_THRESHOLD = 0.0:

The Queuing time shows that with this request, 1203 microseconds (1.2 milliseconds) elapsed from the time Nginx set the HTTP_X_REQUEST_START header and the start of the first piece of middleware. Each subsequent Rack Timer output line shows how long each piece of middleware took to execute in milliseconds. The Rack Timer (incoming) timestamps show elapsed time of the middleware class prior to executing the application's action. The Rack Timer (outgoing) timestamps show elapsed time of the middleware class after the application's action. The Rack Timer (Application Action) timestamp shows the elapsed time of the application's action and the final piece of middleware, Rails routing. Turns out that all of the standard Rails middleware classes are generally fast, which is a good thing!
