Configuring Atlassian Profiling is very simple:

1. Add atlassian-profiling.jar to your application classpath
2. Modify your web.xml file by adding the ProfilingFilter:

   <filter>
       <filter-name>profiling</filter-name>
       <filter-class>com.atlassian.util.profiling.filters.ProfilingFilter</filter-class>
       <init-param>
           <!-- specify the which HTTP parameter to use to turn the filter on or off -->
           <!-- if not specified - defaults to "profile.filter" -->
           <param-name>activate.param</param-name>
           <param-value>app_profile</param-value>
       </init-param>
       <init-param>
           <!-- specify the whether to start the filter automatically -->
           <!-- if not specified - defaults to "true" -->
           <param-name>autostart</param-name>
           <param-value>false</param-value>
       </init-param>
   </filter>
   
   <filter-mapping>
       <filter-name>profiling</filter-name>
       <url-pattern>/*.jsp</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>

   
   
   
3. Add any other filter-mappings you want by adding more <filter-mapping /> tags (the above code will profile requests to *.jsp)
4. To turn profiling on add the parameter ?app_profile=on to any request
5. To turn profiling on add the parameter ?app_profile=off to any request
