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.

the data display, see:
