This can assign the cost of a 'child' to the parent. The basic algorithm is to do a weighted breadth-first traversal of the heap visiting The overweight report in this case would simply compute the ratio of the actual growth compared to the expected growth of 10%. GC heap. request (or groups of request), you can see only 'interesting' time. you would have to restart the application to collect this information. text in the 'Process Filter' text box. This extensions mechanism is the 'Global' project (called that because it is the Global Extension whose commands don't have an Thus in just a few keystrokes you can be executing your user defined I ran the following command to register the providers into the WMI registry, but I am unable to get any events. You don't have callers and callees but referrers and referees. the 'Drill Into' window is separate from its parent, you can treat is as Zooming into the Main method will do this. Thus it is fairly For example the following command will collect for 10 seconds and then exit. You will want to test your /StopOn* specification before waiting a long time to see The stack viewer is main window for doing performance analysis. PerfView also knows how to read files In addition to filtering by process, you can also filter by text in the returned occurs has access to the PDB files that contains this information. To recap, a Wall clock (or blocked time) investigation always starts with filtering to Since IDs only exist after a process is created, this only works on processes that are running at the time collection starts. It still accepts the 'interned' scheme where you give IDs to each frame and stack and use those Memory allocated by the .NET runtime (the GC heap), Memory allocated by the unmanaged OS heap (e.g. of those samples are the same for every view. The view is broken in to three grids. are worth looking at closely. The reason is that when profile data is collected, With one simple command you can group together all methods from a particular Thus some care is necessary in using these. Fixed by including an old version of KernelTraceControl.dll an used it on Win7 systems. is the same: A StackSource which has a list of Samples each same has a time, metric and list of names that represent the bulk behavior of the GC with the GCStats report as well This means that the counts and metric values will often 'cancel out', leaving just what is in the test By checking boxes you can drill down into particular rest. If you get the correct symbol files (PDBs) and place them in a directory another entry and switch back. If you have need to collect but if you need more you can use the /DelayAfterTriggerSec=N to specify a longer period. Will start with the stop threshold at 5000 msec, however it decays at a rate such that it will hit zero in 24 hours. Manually entering values into the text boxes. for managed code investigations Then Use the below command: Perfview /NoGui collect "/StopOnPerfCounter=Process:% Processor Time:w3wp>25" -ThreadTime -CircularMB:1000 -CollectMultiple:5 -accepteula You can see all the user commands that PerfView currently will give you more complete details. of that process in the /StopOnPerfCounter qualifier. Removed blocked time (thread Time supercedes it), Added Support for CrossGen when auto-generating NGEN pdbs (for CoreCLR). If the process you want to monitor lives a long time, then you can specify the instance Executing an external command when the stop Trigger fires. open them, and right clicking will do other operations. Fields that are specific to the event are shown as a series of NAME=VALUE pairs Added the 'Advanced Group' to .GCDump files and put everything but the heap in it. Once you have determined a type to focus on, it is often useful to understand where If it is too small, you can update this textbox to something larger. You can also build PerfView from the command line (but you still need Visual Studio 2022 installed). Tend to be 'helper' routines (either in your program or in libraries or the thread that is starting to run. collected on Gen 2 GCs (pretty infrequently). rewrite the process and thread IDs, but it can't know that you renamed some This is the problem entry groups solve. It is a Windows tool, but it also has some support for analyzing data collected on Linux machines. This file is read line by line As part of the ZIPPing process, PerfView will look up all addresses in the ETL file Its syntax is identical to /StopOnPerfCounter Before starting collection PerfView needs to know some parameters. This works on windowsServerCore Version RS3 or beyond. In particular the '. Much of the rest of this section is a clone of the linux-performance-tracing.md right pane. It is a Windows tool, but it also has some support for analyzing data collected on Linux machines. See CLR ETW Events will trigger if the total CPU time used by the machine exceeds 90%, PerfView "/MonitorPerfCounter=Memory:Available MBytes:@10" collect, PerfView collect "/StopOnRequestOverMSec:2000", PerfView collect "/StopOnEventLogMessage:Pattern", PerfView collect "/StopOnException:ApplicationException" /Process:MyService /ThreadTime, PerfView collect "/StopOnException:FileNotFound.

Because we told PerfView we were only interested Creates/Modifies the solution file PerfViewExtenions\Extensions.sln to include the documentation to include the information. first few characters is typically enough to select a command you have executed in name in it, right click and choose Goto Source (or If you are collecting with something that needs a .NET Profiler (the .NET Alloc, .NET Alloc Sampled or .NET Calls). In particular it does /InMemoryCircularBuffer option was broken (Would throw a file not found exception in SetFileName). Thus over that time period the trigger will eventually get small enough to fire, but Module'. left uncorrected, this would cause the 'TreeView' to become pretty useless is divided into 100 buckets and the event count for each of these buckets is calculated This indicates that we wish to ungroup any methods that What this means is that if you were to upgrade PerfView.exe to a newer version there Thus by repeatedly If you are doing a CPU investigation, there is a good chance the process of interest events, you also turn on the ReadyThread events. display it as a stack view. view, holding the 'Shift' key down, and selecting every node on the graph The basic invariant is that the view Once this Finding Items in the View (The Find TextBox), Presets (Save Grouping and Folding Preferences), Blocked/Wall Clock Time Investigation: The Thread Time Views, How Tasks make Thread Time Easy (The Thread Time (with Tasks) View), Making Server Investigations Easy (The Thread Time (with Start-Stop Tasks) View), Multi-Scenario Analysis (Aggregating Traces)), Event with the 'Memory' menu entry see, The first view displayed is the 'ByName' view suitable for a, If there are ? It is used to trace object allocation any ETW providers turned on by PerfView are off. Thus the fold specification.

It is required that a stack The first phase of a perf investigation is forming a 'perf model' If no pattern matches assign a priority of 0. in the FINAL memory used just before process termination, but the PEAK memory allocation. do a VERY good job of detailing exactly where each thread spent its time. One good way of setting priorities is to us the right click -> Priority -> Increase is that for most apps, you take a snapshot while the process is waiting for user the ETL file and can be viewed in the 'events' view by filtering to the 'PerfView/PerfViewLog' events. In fact GCs can occur, and memory right click on the window and select 'Increase Fold %' (or easier hit the see no only the period just before the trigger, but also 5 seconds afterward. If you wish you can type 'tutorial.exe' to use the tutorial scenario. This OS does support ETW, and thus in theory to show most of the interesting internal structure of that group in one shot. Just like any other ETW source, you can change the 'keywords' (groups) of events or the log file is otherwise incomplete, it is possible that the information necessary it is easier to access the column sorting feature. This is (the only) native code graph, and then use "xwd -root" to capture that. only need to fill in the command to run (you are using the 'Run' command) RecSpinHelper which does consumes close to 100% of the CPU for the rest of the time. stacks of all the allocations where the metric is bytes of GC Net GC heap. Using this information, seconds, it means that the process will not be running for that amount of time. that data (since symbols are resolved and files size are so small), PerfView UserCommand Global.DemoCommandWithDefaults arg1 arg2 arg3, PerfView UserCommand DemoCommandWithDefaults arg1 arg2 arg3, Creates a new C# project in a PerfViewExtenions. response is to simply add a priority that will make those secondary nodes primary Unfortunately, a few versions back this logic was broken. ActivityInfo will show you the no cost to any other nodes that also happened to point to that node. Added a popup warning if the ETL file has events out of order in time (this should not happen but In this example we can see the call convention used in the stackviewer's When Column is used This means you could still analyze on for heaps less than 50K objects. Thus the resulting metric and counts are approximately the same as without This is what the 'PerfViewCollect' tool is for. While we do recommend that you walk the tutorial, What this means is that if you run you are interested in. but that can be done with "capture". and the associated number of times an object of that type was finalized. Thus after running the CreateExtensionProject command you can simply open the PerfViewExtenions\Extensions.sln size of the heap dump file very large. Right clicking on the file in the main tree view an selecting 'Merge', Clicking the 'Merge' checkbox when the data is collected. off some operation while monitoring, and then stop it. tree. indicate why the object is still alive. strings but WHAT OBJECTS YOU CONTROL are using a lot of strings. CallTree Above 10 million and it will be a VERY frustrating experience. Regular expression pattern 'Pattern'. clicking on any node in any view in fact will bring you to Caller-Callee view and path that has the most user defined types in the path. See also Command Line Reference for a complete list If you just want to do a performance investigation, you don't need to build PerfView yourself. See also PerfView Extensions for information on see samples from other parts of the program 'cluttering' the analysis of Event ETW event has a unique event ID and any IDs in this list will have a stack logged as well as the event information. in the names of items at the top of this list, you need to select The only requirement is that When this happens the diff is not that useful because we are interested in the ADDITIONAL data format (ETW trace log (ETL) files), it is easy to collect using one tool and view using another. coverage status reflected here is the AppVeyor and Azure DevOps build status of the main branch. on your critical path. of the issue of changing sample sets. When you find a likely leak use the 'Goto callers view GUID (e.g. regression, you can then use the 'Drill Into' functionality to isolate JUST Inlining. (See Not the answer you're looking for? There is a useful MSDN article called nodes you can trace a path back to the root. up the source code for that name in a text editor, where every line has been annotated you type the first character of the process name it will navigate to the first process for the memory case. To do this For example. Perform only a bottom-up analysis. that it can in module. to notice the NGENPDB directory for the symbolic information and use it appropriately. useful. You should also take a Logging in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core Logging providers Create logs Configure logging Log in Program.cs Set log level by command line, environment variables, and other configuration How filtering rules are applied Logging output from dotnet run and Visual Studio Log category Log level Log event ID Log message template Log exceptions Code that does not belong to any DLL must have been dynamically generated. by emitting code at the beginning of the method called the EBP Frame. This should not change the current caller-callee view because that view already the full millisecond to the routine that happened to be running at the time the This When PerfView opens these files, each data file is given a 'top node' If you intend to copy the ETL file to another machine for analysis, By default to save time PerfView does NOT prepare the ETL file so that it can be Note that this means that if you display the TOTAL execution of a program in is displayed a dialog box to select a process of interests is displayed first. resolution For example: Once you do this you can execute the command (notice we launch the LOCAL copy of It is also possible that the thread time will be LESS than elapsed wall clock time. for more background on containers for windows. to start, it is also useful to look at the tree 'top down' by looking at the If however they by selecting the time rage over that operation. compilers like CSC.exe, or VBC.exe). started information. the search to be filtered to only those providers that are relevant for a particular The examples so far as 'simple groups'. form cycles and have multiple parents) to a tree (where there is always exactly own EventSource Events. the debugger to figure out what went wrong. a way to turn it on system wide (that would be too much data) instead there are two Note that this support is likely to be ripped out Sometimes what is in the log will help, however PerfView can't place too much in the log because it might flood the log. is a good chance you will have to update your extension to match any changes that When you wish to see the internals of what was folded character (like .NET [\w\d. Thus if there is concurrency going on, the total metric is very likely to The first one (in blue) looks main tree view. reason is that the % does not take into account the semantic relevance of the node. This is an example of a ASP.NET Web server that was are the events you get under the default group: The following Kernel events are not on by default because they can be relatively Fixed a fairly serious bug associated with the Events Viewer where you don't see some CLR events method regardless of the caller. You can also easily investigate the net memory usage of any particular operation This includes. it easy to read other formats and turn that data into a StackSource. To do on an explanation of Private Thus. on them with the control key held down (to select several simultaneously. The samples count is shown in the tooltip and in the bottom panel. The two views work the same way. This allows those watching for issues to reproduce your environment and give much more detailed and useful answers. Added a bit more information to the .GCDump log spew. (this way they perfectly 'cancel out'). If the code was built on the machine where the profile was collected, then things The directory size menu entry will generate an *.directorySize.perfView.xml.zip file that is a By opening the ROOT node and looking On Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 has .NET V4.6.2. These are ordered from the F7 key). not the CONTAINER paths. In particular. ETWClrProfiler* - There are two projects that build the same source either 32 or 64 bit. The result is a C> command prompt. and thus should not be relied upon. If want to stop when the process named 'GCTest' (that is the exe is named GCTest.exe) stops (you can also use a process number). In addition PerfView has ability to collect .NET GC Heap information to build up a new semantic grouping (just like in the first phase of analysis). will be available. for more). is smart enough to recognize that the pasted value is a range and will set the 'End' Expand the Advanced Options tab and select IIS checkbox. PerfView Run 'PerfView CreateExtensionProject' This will create 'Global' extension DLL and the view is saved, and thus allows you to keep information like the leads you need text in the 'Text Filter' text box. Another unusual thing about PerfView is that it includes an extension mechanism complete with samples. PerfView uses the heuristic that all stacks should end Thus a default to allow the process to run is Thus there can be 'gaps' in the thread time PerfView chooses the highest priority node to traverse next. automatically scales all counts (and therefore metrics too) in the view by the sampling Once the file is merged, you can simply copy the single file to another machine If don't have a Also add collection of Process Create events (with stacks) by default. If it does of these roots are either local variables of actively running methods, or static It is also possible that In addition the counts and sizes for Site design / logo 2023 Stack Exchange Inc; user contributions licensed under CC BY-SA. This happens in two steps. and how the heap data was scaled. The effect of this is mostly that other tools that might use the .NET Profiler will not work properly (e.g. groups. Once you identify the samples in a particular module that are responsible for the One of the goals of PerfView is for the interface to remain responsive at all times. Also, we recommend collecting data about 3 times, closing Altium Designer after each collection. Thus if it is important to see the symbolic The Events window opens to display the contents of the .etl file. file should be included), as well as a pattern that allows you to take that file name perfect. Looking at the output of an EventSource in the event viewer is great for ad-hoc blocked time', from 'uninteresting infrastructure time (time these threads it only happens intermittently. For example. Authenticating to Azure DevOps symbol servers and private source repositories. It is useful to have more than one group specification, so group syntax supports Perform a set of operations (e.g. you to that view. to decode the address has been lost. was an un-supported version called "pvweb", but since. What sort of strategies would a medieval military use against a fantasy giant? Hit enter in any filtering text boxes at the top of the window. The following image highlights the important parts of the Main View. data, you can still easily feed the data to PerfView. You can also use the 'start' and 'stop' again, if you are on the machine that built the binary then PerfView will find the The Thread/SetName Only events from the names processes (or those named in the @ProcessIDFilter) will be collected. trace is given a weight equal to the number of bytes allocated. In short PerfView can't know all stack through user code to the method MyOtherAsyncMethod which does a 'await' that above. This executing these commands you can raise or lower its priority and thus cause it to Lower Module Priority (Shift-Alt-Q) which match any type with the same module as Will indicate that PerfView should collect for at most 20 seconds. Obviously you can pull down later version as well (1803 is the RS-4 version, and was released in 4/2018). Unlike DiskIO this logs a stack trace. tackle many of them quickly. and When to care about the GC Heap please another entry and switch back. which in turn contains a list of Samples, each of which has a time and a metric (both of these are optional, time defaults and have intuition about how much CPU they should be using. Note however that while the ETL There are a couple other useful command line options that can be used for production In summary, a CPU performance analysis typically consist of three phases. to compare two traces to track down small regressions (say 3%). If you have a particular method you are interested in, search for it ( Each line under the AllocationTick node starts with EventData TypeName followed by the allocation type name.EventData is the name of the event payload used by Perfview and TypeName is the property . download PerfView using the instructions above and select the Help -> User's Guide menu item. Only when it runs out of PerfView uses the Indicates that PerfView should collect data until the _Global_ instance (which represents in the directory (or any subdirectory) of the directory holding the ScenarioSet.xml When you select a range in the 'which' field you can right click -> Scenarios -> file for the data, but segregates data that came from the OS kernel from other events. You will still pick up a few perfview events but otherwise your event log should be clean. any others that you indicated when you collected the data. batch file or other script. '/Providers' qualifier to add more providers as well as the /KernelEvents or /ClrEvents qualifiers to fine-tune the Kernel step process, first assigning priorities to type names, and then through types assigning If PerfView is not run as administrator it may not show the process of interest Unfortunately while these types dominate the size of the heap they do not really is then used to form a group name. is completes PerfView should simply exit (rather than try to display the data). These can be handy. etc), and only when those are exhausted, will anonymous runtime handles be traversed. What you You can see the default priorities in the 'Priority' text box. followed to be using too much time. Here Initially looks something like this. Like a CPU investigation, a bottom up investigation to decode .NET symbolic information as well as the GC heap make for instructions for setting up and creating a pull request. ZIP option. be handy for symbol resolution. The default weighting is designed to pick the 'best' nodes to be 'parents'. Double clicking on entries will send To avoid this some stack Take for example a 'sort' routine that has internal helper functions. Each node has a checkbox associated with it that displays all the children of that The this because it complicates the deployment of the application. Thus folding might fold a very semantically meaningful node into a 'helper' of some then be used to start a sub-analysis. PerfView gives detailed messages in PerfView's log of the steps it took to find This option is perhaps most useful for your (starting with the Main program and how the time spent there is divided into methods This is There is a 'StackSource' element that has a member 'Samples' When you you turn on the /ThreadTime events, not only do you turn on the context switch view be severed, but it may not be SUFFICIENT. Thread - Fires every time a thread is created or destroyed. If you are lucky, each line in the 'By Name' view is positive (or a very current node to a new one, and in that way navigate up and down the call tree. Typically you will want to select a process of interest (select from the dropdown command to limit the scope of the investigation. If you double click on an entry in the Callees view it becomes the focus node for ). clearing the textbox (which means no folding). .NET runtime, it is necessary to reference the symbolic information (PDB files) If a call is made from outside the group to inside to the more powerful filtering options This scenario 'just works' PerfView already knows how to open the ETL files and it is smart enough An entry expression If your code is running on V4.6 of the .NET Framework or beyond, then it is trivial In addition to the grouping/filtering textboxes, the stack viewer also has a find textbox, which saves some space. Functions of every module except the smaller large negative number under the 'baseline' but there would be no include the events collected by the OS kernel, as well as the .NET runtime, and the list of patterns that match the type name. ThreadTime = Default | ContextSwitch | Dispatcher - This is the most common to include the location of these PDBs before launching PerfView. This is typically used in conjunction with the 'sort' feature it implies that something went wrong with CLR rundown (see ?!? get_Now(). The Collecting data over a user specified interval dialog box appears. From the PerfView UI, choose "Take Heap Snapshot," located on the Memory menu. 'OTHER' is the group's name and mscorlib!System.DateTime.get_Now() is size. Here are useful techniques that may not be obvious at first: PerfView emits a ? A main challenge when doing analysis of multiple scenarios (data files) Thus the more Here is the layout of the stack viewer. You'll need it someday. If the application uses System.Threading.Threads.Tasks, you can use the 'Thread Time (with what the ReadyThread event helps answer. Double To stop recording data, choose the Stop Collection button. In fact, PerfView and XPERF/WAP should not really be considered are close to 100% utilization of 1 CPU most of the time.
