SharePoint 2013 comes with a new and improved developer dashboard that allows you to easily monitor:

  • Thread execution time
  • Call stack information and query text for each SQL Server query generated by the page
  • Call stack information for each WCF call
  • URL and job timer information
  • Execution start time
  • SPMonitoredScope statistics

In SharePoint 2013, the developer dashboard is easily accessible from the toolbar.

$content = ([Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService)

$appsetting = $content.DeveloperDashboardSettings

$appsetting.DisplayLevel = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPDeveloperDashboardLevel]::On

$appsetting.Update()
