Selecting a node displays information in context for that node and it’s underlying call path in the analysis tabs in the Association area. See “About About the Association area” on page 23area.

Viewing information in the Main area

By default, the execution tree in the Main area is launched displaying the top instance level (either a selected instance or all monitored instances) and the entry point level only. Navigate through the execution tree by clicking the + sign next to the node name. This displays deeper layers of the tree, enabling you to view invoked methods and SQLs while maintaining the execution hierarchy.

...

FieldDescription
IconDisplays an icon reflecting the node type.
NameDisplays the name of the selected node. Depending on the tree view settings selected, the name will be displayed either its short name, or its full execution context.
Selected "Sorted by" valueDisplays an aggregated value of the selected “sort by” sort by option for the node’s entire underlying call tree.

To change the current tree view settings, see “About About Tree View settings” on page 13settings.

Hovering over a node displays a ToolTip. The following table describes the information displayed in the ToolTip:

Table 2 Information displayed in a node’s node's ToolTip

FieldDescription
TypeDisplays the node’s node's method type.
ContextDisplays the full execution context of the selected node.
Sorted "sorted by" type and valueDisplays the field by which the tree view is sorted by and the value for the selected node and its underlying call tree.

The table below describes the “sort by” sort by options available for the execution tree.

...

All of the sort options can be displayed in ascending or descending order. You can also select the maximum number of executions to display under each node, the maximum number of results to display, and whether to display the method’s long or short name.See “About  See see About Tree View settings” on page 13settings.

Searching within the execution tree

...

  1. Enter the desired value in the search bar.
  2. Click the search icon to the right of the search field. The heaviest results for the search value are emphasized in bold within the execution tree and their relevant call paths are opened.
Info

If the ‘Show Show short name only’ option only option is selected in the tree view settings dialog and the user enters the full name in the search value, the search will not return any results.

...

Precise for Microsoft .NET displays performance metrics for every instrumented node in the application. The execution context is a sequence of executions, a call path of instrumented methods that defines each node’s unique location within the instrumented application.

About the Activity workspace analysis tabs

The Activity workspace analysis tabs display indepth in-depth information about and in context of the node selected in the execution tree, shown within the tree in bold for referencing. While navigating through the analysis tabs, you can select different hyperlinked entities associated with the originally selected node. Selecting a hyperlinked node in an analysis tab will select that node within the execution tree, and all information displayed in the analysis tabs will be refreshed to correspond to the newly selected node.

ImpactDisplays information regarding the selected node’s impact on the application. It displays general performance data for the selected node in the selected time frame and specific information regarding its contribution to all entry points and methods by which it is directly invoked. This view provides the user with a comprehensive overview of the specific method’s performance throughout the application.
