The Object Reference Graph view shows the referential relationship of objects in a graph.
To open the Object Reference Graph view, right-click a profiling resource entry in the Profiling Monitor and select
from the pop-up menu. .Data item | Description |
---|---|
Object | The name of the object. If the object is ungrouped (a single instance of a Java™ class), the name is followed by an instance identifier. |
Size | The size of the object, measured in bytes. If the object is grouped (all instances of a specific Java class), this number is a sum for all instances in the group. |
References | The number of objects referenced by the selected object. If the object is grouped, this number is the sum for all instances in the group. |
Referers | The number of objects that reference the selected object. If the object is grouped, this number is a sum for all instances in the group. |
Count | For a grouped object, the number of instances in the group. The count for an ungrouped object is always 1. For a path segment, the number of references from the referencing (From) node to the referee (To) node. |
From | For a path segment, the name of the referencing object. If the object is ungrouped (a single instance of a Java class), the name is followed by a instance identifier. |
To | For a path segment, the name of the referee object. If the object is ungrouped (a single instance of a Java class), the name is followed by a instance identifier. |
Propagated Memory | For a path segment, the Size of the referenced node. |
