New Profiling Point Wizard: Take Snapshot
See Also
The New Profiling Point wizard enables you to set a new profiling point
that will invoke a profiling action.
In this wizard you specify the type of profiling point that you want to set
according to the profiling action that want to be invoked.
You use this profiling point to take profiling snapshots
or heap dumps each time that the profiling point is hit.
You open this wizard in the following ways.
- Right-click in a line in your source code and choose Profiling > Insert Profiling Point.
- Click Add Profiling Point in the toolbar of the Profiling Points window.
- Click Edit Profiling Point in the toolbar of the Profiling Points window
when a Take Snapshot profiling point is selected.
In this page of the wizard you specify the following properties.
- Name. Type the name that you want to use to identify
the profiling point.
This name will be used to identify the profiling point in the
Profiling Points window.
- Settings. Set the following options for the snapshot:
- Take. Select the type of snapshot that you want to take.
- Save. Select the location for the saved snapshots.
You can save snapshots to the default directory in your project
or you can specify a location on your local system.
- Reset results after taking snapshot. When selected
the collected profiling results are reset after each snapshot is taken.
- Location. Specify the name of the file and
the line in the source code where you want to place the profiling point.
You can click Browse to locate the file in your project.
Select Begin or End to specify if the profiling point is hit when
a thread hits the beginning of the line or reaches the end of the line.
- If you opened the New Profiling Point wizard by clicking
in a line in a source file, the file and line are automatically set for you
but you can modify the settings as needed.
