The Select Profiling Task dialog box enables you to choose the following profiling tasks.

- Monitor Application. This profile task returns high-level information about several important properties of the target JVM, including thread activity and memory allocations.
- Analyze CPU Performance. This profile task returns detailed data on application performance. You can choose to analyze the entire application, part of the application, or startup performance.
