Profiling Configuration

The Perf plug-in has several options to configure, most of them are mirrors of the configuration options that exists on the binary. For more information about all these options refer to the Perf man pages or https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/ .

Perf Options tab

This configuration tab contains runtime options for a profiling with Perf, such as loading a kernel image file or hide unsolved symbols.

Perf Events tab

On this tab it is possible to set up a customized array of events for the profiling or, if desired, go with the Default Event option which overrides all other settings and run Perf with the default event (cycle counting).
