## About Profiling Results

See Also

The profiling results obtained from a profiling session depend upon the profiling task you select. When a profiling session is in progress, you can see the live results of the profiling task. At any point during the profiling session you can capture and save the results.

### Live Results

The live results windows show the results of the profiling task over time while the profiling session is in progress. The IDE displays live profiling results in the following windows.

- VM Telemetry. The VM Telemetry window displays high-level data on thread activity and memory heap and garbage collection in the VM.
- Threads. The Threads window displays detailed information about application thread activity.
- Telemetry Overview. The Telemetry Overview window displays smaller versions of the graphs that are presented in the VM Telemetry window.
- Live Profiling Results. The Live Profiling Results window displays the live data from the running profiling session. The live results displayed depend on the selected profiling task. Note: The Live Profiling Results view is not available when you are monitoring an application.

You can open any of these windows by choosing Window > Profiling > window name from the main menu.

### Captured Results

The captured results windows show profiling data at a certain point in time during the profiling session. You can capture results at any time during a profiling session and save the results to your project or local system. You do not need to be running a profiling session to view saved captured results.

The IDE displays captured profiling results in the following windows.

- Snapshot. This view displays the captured results of a profiling session. The data contained in the snapshot depends upon the profiling task that is running when the snapshot is taken.
- Heap. This view displays a heap dump. In this view you can examine the contents of the heap.
- Save view as image. You can save a `.png` image of the current view displayed in a results window by clicking Save current view to image button ( )in the toolbar
