How to use a memory report¶
The memory report feature allows you to generate, navigate, and sort a visual representation of your application's memory.
How to generate a memory report¶
To generate a memory report for your application, click Memory report in the Actions View. A progress notification bar appears in the bottom right corner of the screen.
How to navigate the memory report¶
From the memory report, you can right-click on any of the selected items to access two actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Copy identifier | Copies the path of the selected identifier. |
| Go to symbol | Directs you to the file and location of the selected symbol. If the file and location of the selected symbol are under "No paths" in the treeview, then this option is not available. |
The sunburst treeview of the memory report displays directories and files of the stack in a top-down manner, with the single files located in the farthest circle from the center.
To navigate the sunburst treeview of the memory report:
- Hover over the different sections of the sunburst diagram to see the identifier and the percentage of memory that it uses.
- Click on the chosen section to access the lower levels.
The following GIF shows the interaction with the sunburst diagram:
How to sort the memory report¶
You can sort the directories and files based on size or percentage in ascending or descending order.
To sort the memory report, click on the Size or % headings.
