Analyzer lj-lua-ngx-print-error
Name
lj-lua-ngx-print-error - ngx.print and ngx.say error Flame Graph
This analyzer profiles errors occurring in ngx.print and ngx.say operations within OpenResty and Kong applications. It captures stack traces when output functions fail, typically due to broken client connections or buffer issues. The analyzer generates flame graphs showing error distribution across code paths, helping identify problematic response generation patterns and improve error handling in output operations.
