To Enable Method-Level Profiling
Note
The components that monitor Java method-level profiling are resource
intensive and intended only for use by application developers.
Method-level profiling will perform slowly on host machines with CPUs
slower than 1 GHz and with less than 1 GB of memory. These features
are not recommended for regular use in production environments.
Method level data collection can be dynamically enabled if the JVM
Performance Monitoring is turned on. It does not require a reboot of the
system, WebLogic, nor PATROL, and once enabled, it runs until you
disable it (see “To Disable Method-Level Profiling” on page 3-17).
Step 1 From the KM Commands on the server instance icon, choose Advance
Monitoring => Configure Method Profiling
.
The Configure Method Level Profiling dialog box is displayed.
Step 2 Select the checkbox next to Enable Advance Java Class Method level
CPU Utilization Data Collection. If the box is not selected, method-level
profiling will not be turned on.
Step 3 Type the name of the Java class that you want to monitor.
Step 4 Select Add.
this box must be
checked to enable
method level profiling
