Profiling data from Health Center

Profiling Sample Data from Health Center Agent appears in the Profiling perspective.

• Each profiling launch appears in the Profiling Monitor view.
• Multiple profiling sessions can be monitored at the same time.
• Double click the Health Center Agent node to open the Profiling Sample Data received from Health Center.

The Profiling Sample Data shows which methods are using the most processing resources. Sample data is organized in these rows:

• Samples: number of samples taken while a particular method was being run at the top of the stack.
• Self %: percentage of samples taken while a particular method was being run at the top of the stack.
• Tree %: percentage of samples taken while a particular method was anywhere in the call stack.
• Method: fully qualified method name.

Methods with a higher Self % value (those higher up near the top of the table) are good candidates for optimization to improve on execution time. You can type a filter (specified in regular expression) in the Filter methods field to display only methods matching the filter criteria.
