Profiling settings template dialog

Before a session is started, the profiling settings template dialog is displayed. This dialog displays a list of pre-configured profiling settings templates that are targeted at a variety of situations. As different templates in the drop down list are selected, the description box and the performance indicators below it are updated accordingly. Both description and performance indicators should help you choose the best template for your task at hand. If you click on the [Customize profiling settings and filters] button below the drop down box, the profiling settings dialog is opened.

In the Startup section dialog you can choose whether recording of CPU or allocation data should be started immediately. For many profiling use cases the startup phase of an application is not of interest. For large applications servers, you can save a lot of memory and speed up the startup phase by not recording allocations from the beginning.

record CPU data on startup
Both the invocations view and the hot spots view will display data immediately.
record allocations on startup
Both the class monitor, the allocation monitor and the allocation hot spots view will display data immediately.

When you click on [Ok], the session will be started.
