You can access the snapshot details page directly from the memory usage graphs to analyze objects, troubleshoot specific scenarios, and ultimately enhance overall application performance, especially when you observe significant changes in the memory trend graph. The snapshot details page complements the overview provided by the memory graphs by providing detailed information about objects, such as size, type, and references, which are essential for identifying memory leaks and optimizing usage.

To access snapshot details through memory graphs:
  1. On the Recordings home page, select the recording for which you want to view the snapshot details and click the Review button. Alternatively, use the search bar to find a particular recording by name.

    The Memory Usage page displays. For more details, see Memory Usage.

  2. On the lower graph, position the timeline selector at the point in the graph that you want to examine further.
    The upper graph updates in response to the change in selection in the lower graph.
    Note: If you observe memory usage spikes, focus on areas in the graph with significant changes to identify memory hotspots, as persistent increases in memory usage may indicate leaks. However, a spike is not necessarily a reliable indicator of a memory leak and is largely dependent on the context of the application when a snapshot is taken.
  3. Hover over the snapshot you want to analyze and click the snapshot data point.

    The Snapshot ID dialog box displays.

  4. Click View Snapshot to view snapshot details.

    The Snapshot page displays. For more information about this page, see Snapshot.
