Analyze Performance: Define New Profiling Root

See Also

When analyzing application performance, you can choose to limit the source code that is instrumented by specifying a root method. When you profile an application by instrumenting a root method, profiling data is collected when one of the application's threads enters and leaves the root method.

The Define New Profiling Root dialog box enables you to specify a method and the class that contains the method. You can also edit an existing root method. You open this dialog box from the Edit Profiling Roots (Advanced) dialog box by clicking Add or by selecting a root method and clicking Edit.

To define the profiling root you need to specify the following details.

When you click OK, the method is added to the list of root methods that are associated with that profiling configuration.

Notes:

When you click OK the root method is added to the list of root methods displayed in the Specify Root Method dialog box. You can select a method from the list and click Remove to delete the method from the list.
