Using the Jobs Profiler

To use the Jobs Profiler, you must enable it in the Profiler window.

Prerequisites

Enabling the Jobs Profiler

To enable the Jobs Profiler:

  1. Open the Profiler window (menu: Window > Analysis > Profiler).
  2. Select the CPU Usage Profiler module.
  3. Select the Timeline dropdown at the top of the details pane, and then select New Timeline (Experimental).

The details pane at the bottom of the Profiler window displays the Jobs Profiler timeline view.

Capturing data

The workflow to capture data with the Jobs Profiler is the same as the CPU Profiler module:

  1. Open the Profiler window (menu: Window > Analysis > Profiler).
  2. Select the target player from the dropdown (Play mode, Edit mode, or a running player).
  3. If the window doesn't automatically collect data, select the Record button.

For detailed information on how to capture data, refer to Profiling your application.

Tip

To navigate the Timeline view, rotate the wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out, or press and hold Alt + right-click to zoom in and out. Press and hold Alt + left-click to pan the view.

Viewing data

When you select a job, the Jobs Profiler adds lines to the timeline view which displays the relationships between jobs as follows:

  • Purple lines: When and where a job has been scheduled
  • Yellow lines: Job dependencies
  • Red lines: When a job is waiting and hasn't been completed
  • Green lines: When a job is waiting and has been completed
