I think it’d be worth moving this from a config line in app.yml (which requires command line access and rebuilding to make a change) to an admin setting e.g. miniprofiler-allowed-groups . If it’s available to the user, we should add a #keyboard-shortcut to hide/show it.
Also, I think this feature is currently not available at all on our hosting which means that our customers can’t help us with debugging.
Can’t make any promises about when this might be picked up, but do appreciate @bathinda that you took the time to give your feedback about what is confusing about the feature.
We could be documenting this better… for now I have added mini-profiler tag so we can start collecting all the discussions related to it. We could add mention of mini-profiler to the admin getting started guide that ships with discourse for self-hosters. It’s a handy troubleshooting tool. discourse/docs/ADMIN-QUICK-START-GUIDE.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub
