Have a look at [node-red-contrib-msg-profiler](https://github.com/bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-msg-profiler)  
It hasn't been published on npm, so to install it, run the following npm command in your Node-RED user directory (typically ~/.node-red):

```auto
npm install bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-msg-profiler

```
