+=====================
+ Installing Oprofile
+=====================
+
+The easiest way to profile Ceph's CPU consumption is to use the `oprofile`_
+system-wide profiler.
+
+.. _oprofile: http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/about/
+
+Installation
+============
+
+If you are using a Debian/Ubuntu distribution, you can install ``oprofile`` by
+executing the following::
+
+ sudo apt-get install oprofile oprofile-gui
+
+
+Compiling Ceph for Profiling
+============================
+
+To compile Ceph for profiling, first clean everything. ::
+
+ make distclean
+
+Then, export the following settings so that you can see callgraph output. ::
+
+ export CFLAGS="-fno-omit-frame-pointer -O2 -g"
+
+Finally, compile Ceph. ::
+
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure
+ make
+
+You can use ``make -j`` to execute multiple jobs depending upon your system. For
+example::
+
+ make -j4
+
+
+Ceph Configuration
+==================
+
+Ensure that you disable ``lockdep``. Consider setting logging to
+levels appropriate for a production cluster. See `Ceph Logging and Debugging`_
+for details.

+See the `CPU Profiling`_ section of the RADOS Troubleshooting documentation for details on using Oprofile.
