You may want to select specific tags to study snapshots generated during a specific phase of the application's operation. Analyzing snapshots tied to a particular tag may help identify patterns, trends, or anomalies in the application code at an identifiable point in time. Comparing snapshots against those linked with other tags may also highlight irregularities like unexpected exceptions, memory leaks, or unusual performance spikes.
