Working with probe events in JProfiler
2023-09-15
Posted by Ingo Kegel
Probe events are of great help in debugging specific performance problems. To find events of interest, JProfiler gives you a lot of tools to narrow down the set of displayed events.
This screencast shows the HTTP server and HTTP client probes, the JDBC and JPA/Hibernate probes as well as the socket probe when profiling a real-world application. The various ways of filtering probe events as well as duration and throughput histograms are explained.
The profiled application is the CommaFeed RSS reader.
