You can apply probes and collect probe data when you profile your application in the workbench. You can also deploy probes with your application to a target system, launch your application, and collect probe data without using the workbench.
The following sections provide more information and detailed instructions for deploying and applying probes.
Collecting Probe Data in the Workbench
You can use the Edit Profiling Set dialog box to select and configure the probes you want to use with a profiling set. The probes will be applied each time you select the profiling set and launch your application in the workbench.Collecting Probe Data Outside of the Workbench
There are two ways to collect probe data without using the Workbench to launch your application. The first is to use the Probekit instrumentation engine to pre-apply the probe to your application before you deploy it. The second is to deploy your application, then launch it with a command line option that attaches the Hyades data collection agent to your application's Java™ process.
