OSprofiler data

All messages with event type “profiler.*” will be collected as profiling data. Using notification plugin profiler/notifications.py.

Note

Be sparing with heavy usage of OSprofiler, especially in case of complex operations like booting and deleting instance that may create over 100kb of sample data per each request.
