Viewing Trace Files in Traceview

To run traceview and view the trace files, enter traceview <trace-base-name>. For example, to run Traceview on the example files copied in the previous section, you would use:

traceview /tmp/calc

Traceview loads the log files and displays their data in a window that has two panels:

• A timeline panel -- describes when each thread and method started and stopped
• A profile panel -- provides a summary of what happened inside a method

The sections below provide addition information about the traceview output panes.
