Reverse FlameGraph

[netikras]

Is there a way to display the FG in reverse?
I want all the terminal nodes to aggregate together and then see from where they originate.

This helps to identify shared resource exhaustion caused by multiple components, e.g. JDBC conn pool, HTTP client pool, etc.

When these shared resource calls are displayed at the top of the flames it's rather difficult to count all the invocations and see if limits are reached and which components (services/methods) contribute most to this exhaustion.

I've requested the same feature to be implemented in FastThread and it works a treat.

Does YJP have something similar?
If not - how do I log a feature request (is this forum monitored by YJP staff)?

There is Method back traces which does exactly what you need, but call tree is presented not as a flame-graph, but as a call tree.
