Method trace perspective
This perspective shows accurate timings for method calls, and an analysis of method use across the running threads.
You must have first generated some trace data, according to the instructions in Tracing methods (Java applications only).
The method trace perspective has the following views:
Method trace data tree
This view shows the threads that each method ran on. Expand a method to display the associated threads. Select a thread to show it in the method trace timeline view, which shows the use of the thread by the method, over time.
Method trace summary
- Count
- The number of times that the method ran.
- Total time
- The total time that the method ran for.
- Max time
- The longest time that the method ran for.
- Mean time
- The mean average time that the method ran for.
- Method name
- The name of the method.
Method trace timeline
Select threads from the method trace data tree to display them in this view. This view is a visual representation of when the method was used on the displayed thread or threads. Threads are identified by color. You can select threads from multiple methods; move the mouse over the lines to see the name of the associated method, and the exact time.
