## Example usage
### CPU Profiler
Apart from the debugger, various V8 Profilers are available through the DevTools
protocol. Here's a simple example showing how to use the [CPU profiler][]:
```js
const inspector = require('inspector');
const session = new inspector.Session();
session.connect();
session.post('Profiler.enable', () => {
session.post('Profiler.start', () => {
// invoke business logic under measurement here...
// some time later...
session.post('Profiler.stop', ({ profile }) => {
// write profile to disk, upload, etc.
});
});
});
```
