How to know which method is calling a specific method?

[javadevmtl]

Hi running the profiler. I see that

java.util.HashSet.add

Time(ms): 49,000(91%)
Own Time(ms): 49,000

-1 Does that mean that this is taking up CPU, because it seems I have high CPU usage 50%+ , when I restart the application the CPU usage is low, even with same amount of load?
-2 How can I see who is calling the add of the HashSet?

GC looks good, memory seems to clean up.

Hi,

Yes, why not.
However, since you apparently use synchronous sampling, there is likely a bias:

To avoid it, try asynchronous sampling if it's available on your platform:

-2 How can I see who is calling the add of the HashSet?

I don't see Hotspots item on the left to see the call trace. I assume I need a snapshot for that to work?

I took some screens...

This is on low application usage, usually the CPU is at 1% user time eventually it will go higher to 50% and more at which point the application slows down and I have to restart it.

From what I have seen the GC is low and memory does reclaim itself correctly.
