Configure your application.
Change the command line of your Java application to use -Xeprof or -agentlib:hprof options
to capture profiling data.
Run the application to create a data file.
Start the console from a local installation on your client workstation.
Click File
Open File to browse for and open the data file.
For all profiling data types, a viewer window opens and displays
a set of tabs containing summary and graphical metric data. You will also
see the Metrics and Estimate menus containing
additional metric display choices, and a control menu for changing thread
scope.
Click among the tabs to view available metrics.
Use the Metrics or Estimate menus
to select additional metrics to view. Each metric that you select opens in
a new tab. Mousing over each category in the cascading menu will reveal the
relevant metrics for that category.
