Built-in probes
We have prepared a set of probes to help investigating typical problems. The probes are ready to use out of the box. Also you can use them as good examples to start with should you decide creating custom probes.
The following built-in probes are available at the moment:
com.yourkit.probes.builtin.AsyncChannels- socket I/O operations via asynchronous channelscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.AwtEvents- long AWT/Swing events, which cause UI irresponsiveness.

Read more...com.yourkit.probes.builtin.Databases- JDBC/SQL database connections and requestscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.DirectoryStreams- directory streamscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.Files- file I/O operations via streams, random access files, NIO channelscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.HBase- HBase database requestscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.JNDI- JNDI callscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.JPA_DataNucleus- DataNucleus JPA frameworkcom.yourkit.probes.builtin.JPA_EclipseLink- EclipseLink JPA frameworkcom.yourkit.probes.builtin.JPA_Hibernate- Hibernate JPA frameworkcom.yourkit.probes.builtin.JPA_OpenJPA- OpenJPA JPA frameworkcom.yourkit.probes.builtin.JUnitTests- execution of JUnit testscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.MongoDB- MongoDB requestscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.Processes- external processes launched viaRuntime.exec()andProcessBuilder.start()com.yourkit.probes.builtin.Servlets- JSP/Servlet requestscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.Sockets- socket I/O operations via streams and NIO channelscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.TestNg- execution of TestNG testscom.yourkit.probes.builtin.Threads- thread creation, start, name change.
