How to use custom Snapshot files for profiling?

Post by Jeeva »

Hi there,

I am pretty new to Profiling. I have some Snapshot files (collected from Datameer) for analyzing Memory Leak Issue.

I am wondering how I can make YourKit tool to use the Snapshot file to give the Memory Profiling.

Thanks,
Jeeva

YourKit profiler can analyze only own snapshot files and co-called HPROF heap dumps https://www.yourkit.com/docs/java/help/ ... pshots.jsp

We do not support snapshots in Datameer format. If Datameer can export heap into HPROF, then you will be able load these HPROFs with YourKit.

Hi Vladimir Kondratyev,

Thanks for your reply. I have the Snapshot file in HPROFs format , and Datameer has recommended to use this tool for analyzing.

I am wondering how to make use of those files in YourKit.

In the tool, I am seeing different options like Integrate with IDE(Integration Wizard).
Do i need this plugin to install in order to achieve my task?

I apologize for if it is a trivial question. I am completely newbie for profiling.
