Search profiler markers

The Profiler Markers search provider searches the Profiler data of scripts that use the ProfilerMarker API.

You can use the Profiler Markers search provider in two windows:

In a dedicated window. From the main menu, select Window > Analysis > Performance Markers.
In the Search window, using a visual or textual query with the provider token. However, the recommended best practice is using the dedicated window for profiler markers, as it provides a better experience.

Query syntax

Provider token: profile:

Query example: Searches the profiler markers for the text active and a sample count of over 1000.

profile: count>1000 active

The Profiler Markers provider has additional filters in the visual query builder, using standard search query operators.

Filter	Search token	Query example	Description
Average (avg)	`perf: avg=<value>`	`perf: avg<512kb`	Searches for performance trackers with an average value smaller than `512kb`.
Last time	`perf: lastTime=<value>`	`perf: lastTime<1ms`	Searches for performance trackers that have been updated in the last millisecond.
Peak	`perf: peak=<value>`	`perf: peak=0.5`	Searches for performance trackers with a peak value of `0.5`.
Sample count	`perf: count=<value>`	`perf: count=0.5`	Searches for performance trackers with a sample count of `0.5`. This filter can’t use a unit.
Total	`perf: total=<value>`	`perf: total=0.5`	Searches for performance trackers with a total value of `0.5`.

To match the unit the performance tracker logs, use different unit types with the filters. For example:

To search all trackers that report an average time greater than 1ms, use avg>1ms.
To search for trackers that report an average memory consumption smaller than 512kb, use avg<512kb.

If you don’t specify the unit, the search returns trackers that report hits.

Note: The Sample Count filter never uses units.

To learn more about these markers, refer to the Profiler markers reference.

Search window tab: Profile Markers.

The recommended best practice is to use the table view for these results.

The context menu for the Profiler Markers search provider includes the following actions:

Action	Description
Profile	Runs the profiler on the selected item. This is the default double-click action. To change the default action, refer to Preferences.
Enable Deep Profiling or Disable Deep Profiling	Toggles deep profiling for the selected item.
Reset	Resets all results to `0` and starts profiling again.
