The console can display metrics for the whole
application, for a single thread, or for a single thread group, provided
the profile data has been appropriately collected. These three sectors
of analysis are called scopes.
To change the current scope, do the following.
If you do not have a profiling viewer open, double-click
on a data representation in the main console pane.
This opens a profiling viewer.
You can see the Scope menu in the menu bar of the
viewer.
Click the Scope menu name to
see the scope options. By default, Process scope is selected.
Note that if you mark an item in
a profiling viewer and then switch scope, the “find immediate”
action is automatically executed. If you want to disable this default
action before switching scope, uncheck the Automatic find
immediately menu item.
Select the scope that you want. The scope change is
immediately applied to the data displayed in the visualizers appearing
in the open viewer.
View available metrics by clicking the tabs or by
selecting new items from the Metrics or Estimate menus.
The following image shows a
metric for which “Thread” scope has been set. The slider
allows you to expand and contract the two views (method call count
and associated threads).
