ProfileType is type of profiling data.
NOTE: the enumeration member names are used (in lowercase) as unique string
identifiers of profile types, so they must not be renamed.
In-use heap profile. Represents a snapshot of the allocations that are
live at the time of the profiling.
HeapAlloc
Heap allocation profile. It represents the aggregation of all allocations
made over the duration of the profile. All allocations are included,
including those that might have been freed by the end of the profiling
interval. The profile is in particular useful for garbage collecting
languages to understand which parts of the code create most of the garbage
collection pressure to see if those can be optimized.
PeakHeap
Peak heap profile.
Threads
Single-shot collection of all thread stacks.
Unspecified
Unspecified profile type.
Wall
Wallclock time sampling. More expensive as stops all threads.
