Figure 6 Collect View

Analyze View

The Analyze view lets you explore the performance data you collect. When displayed, the Analyze view is located, by default, to the right of the Projects view, overlaying the Collect and Advisor views. Any performance data you have available for viewing is shown in the Projects view.

To open the Analyze view, double-click a performance data icon of interest in the Projects view. When you double-click additional icons belonging to the same measurement run, new tabbed pages are opened up in the Analyze view to show the data.

The name given to the Analyze view is that of the measurement run for which data is shown. You can open multiple Analyze views, one for each measurement run shown in the Projects view.

Multiple types of data are shown in the Analyze view in tabbed pages with the following names: Process Tree, Memory Usage, CPU Metrics, CPU EventsHistogram, Call Graph, and Call Stack Graph.

The figure below shows the Analyze view with the Histogram tab selected. Notice that the name of the Analyze view in the figure is “Sampled Call Graph Run (fitzroy, 5/22/06 7:58 PM),” which indicates the type of data collected, the system it was collected on, and the time and date it was collected.
