and Diagnostic Tools - Garbage Collection and Memory Visualizer contains
displayers for presenting data as a report, table or line plot.
About this task

as a line plot, structured data is shown as tables, and unstructured
data is presented as text. The report contains observations and recommendations
based on the parsed data.
- Table

- Line plot

to modify the units and range of the axes.
Procedure
- In the hosting product, open a log file for analysis as
described in Starting the tool and opening log files in the GUI.
- Use the tabs within the Data set tab
to display the data in your preferred format.
- If the displayer that you require is not visible as a tab,
modify the preferences to include it.
- Click the Preferences menu item. This item might be under the Window or File menu,
depending on your hosting product.
- Expand the GCMV section.
- Click Displayers.
- On the Displayers page, select
the check boxes next to the displayers that you want to open.
By default all displayers are available when you open a file
for analysis.
- Optional: Save the data in the displayed format
by right-clicking within the data and clicking Save.... The file extension of the saved data depends on the display
format. Reports are saved as .html files, tables
as .csv files, and line plots as .jpg files.
For .csv files, the default separator is a comma
(,). You can change the separator to another string in the Table
data displayer preferences page.
