Class MetadataCollect

Abstract class for creating a metadata collector type to populate the PackedMemorySnapshot.Metadata member. You can add multiple collectors, but it is recommended to add only one. A collector instance will auto-register during construction.

Inheritance

object

MetadataCollect

Namespace: Unity.MemoryProfiler

Assembly: Unity.MemoryProfiler.dll

Syntax

public abstract class MetadataCollect

Remarks

Creating a collector instance will override the default metadata collection functionality. If you want to keep the default metadata, go to the DefaultCollect method in the file com.unity.memoryprofiler\Runtime\MetadataInjector.cs and copy that code into your collector method. Removing a collector can be achieved by calling dispose on the collector instance you want to unregister.

Constructors

Default constructor of the MetadataCollect.

Declaration

public class MyMetadataCollect : MetadataCollect
{
    public MyMetadataCollect() : base()

    {
        // Metadata which is added by default.
        data.content = $"Project name: { Application.productName }";
        data.platform = string.Empty;
    }
}
