This essentially means that you don’t need to restart your application to profile it. You can also attach the profiler to a process that is in execution (including the IDE). It enables you to view data related to JVM events like Class loading, Garbage collection, OS events and many more. When you profile your applications using the Java Flight Recorder, you can also view an Events tab. Method ListĪs the name suggests, ‘Method Lists’ shows a list of methods that executed when you profiled your data, with the samples count. Please also refer to our documentation on Profilers on our website. Please refer to this link on our documentation page for more details on Call Tree. You could use them to get a quick overview of application activity, examine the execution path of slowest methods, determine critical execution paths and much more. Call Treeįlame graphs could be represented in a textual form, using Call Trees, showing how methods are called and the percentage of total CPU time used by them.Ĭall Tree shows the method execution path in your application. So you could either think of reducing the number of calls to this method or optimize it so it executes in less time. It could also mean that you are calling it many times. For example, if it spends 29% of the time on the methodA() method, that doesn’t mean it takes a lot of time to execute. It lets you find out the total CPU time that is being spent by your application. Note, the blocks are relative it represents a snapshot total time on CPU.Ī flame graph won’t disclose which tasks were performed or called before or after.
A flame graph is another way of stating: hey, this is what happened when we profiled your application, and we grouped it. This graph might suggest where the problems are and where to optimize. It shows which methods are calling other methods (this is how the method stacks are represented), for how long, and where they are executed.
#INTELLIJ IDEA ULTIMATE SERIES#
Blue rectangles represent native calls and yellow rectangles represent Java calls.Ī flame graph is not a time series – it doesn’t show the sequence of calling of methods in an application. Here’s a screenshot of a flame graph generated by profiling an application using Async CPU Profiler:Įvery rectangle in a flame graph represents a function name. With the integrated profilers, you can view the Flame Graph, Call Tree, Method List or Events in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. When you click on ‘Open’, you get an option to stop profiling and view the results: Just in case, you miss the popup to view profiled data, you can open the Profiler window by using switcher or by using Find Action. The output window displays a message stating ‘Profiler attached’, with a link to ‘Open’, to view the profiled data. You can also choose this option from the ‘Run’ menu, or use Search Everywhere or Find Action to run ‘Run with Profiler’. Click on the start icon in the gutter and select ‘Run with ’. You can start profiling your application in multiple ways. If you want to profile your applications using an older IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate version, you can use the Async profiler on Linux and macOS. Support for JFR usage was introduced in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2019.2. So, please check for the inclusion of JFR in the JDK binary you are using. Moving forward, vendors are working on including JFR in the various versions of their JDK binaries.
Work is in progress on merging JFR into OpenJDK8 tree. JFR works on Oracle JDK builds starting from version 8 (with its commercial features enabled). Starting with Java 11, JFR is included on all JDK distributions. To use JFR, you’ll need to Configure your IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate to use a JDK distribution which includes JFR. These profilers can also be configured using settings (Preferences → Build, Execution, Deployment → Java Profiler): IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate includes out of the box support for the Async and JFR profilers. IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate has been supporting Profiler integration since its version 2018.3, with the Async Profiler. On macOS and Linux, the IDE also has integration with Async Profiler. It integrates Java Flight Recorder (JFR) on Windows, macOS, and Linux. IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate integrates multiple profilers. Profiler integrations in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate
In this blog post, I’ll walk you through the support that IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate has for profiling your applications. Using these metrics, you can determine ways to improve the performance of your system. By profiling your application, you can discover the methods that execute in your application and for how long.
Now you can profile your application and analyze the results, without leaving your IDE. IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate has out of the box support for profiling your applications using multiple Profilers.
