Graph View

Graph view renders aggregate stack traces with cumulative count. It presents the stack trace in a graphical format, which helps identify method path to its root.

To enable graph view in JMC, go to the menu item Window, Show View, Other, Mission Control, and then Graph View. Click Open.

Here is a sample image displaying the Threads information in the graph view:

Rendering large graphs is also possible with smart pruning. You can focus on the most impactful nodes (nodes are data points, for example, method calls). In the Max Nodes drop-down, select the target number of nodes; the visualization will render maximum of that many nodes.

Thread graphs now is enhanced with the following:

• Time filter that display the start and end time of the visible range
• Zoom in and zoom out functionality
• Zoom to automatically select the highlighted area on the chart
• Vertical and horizontal scrolling of chart canvas
