Understand profiling types and their uses in Pyroscope

Profiling is an essential tool for understanding and optimizing application performance. In Pyroscope, various profiling types allow for an in-depth analysis of different aspects of your application. This guide explores these types and explain their impact on your program.

Profiling types

In Pyroscope, profiling types refer to different dimensions of application performance analysis, focusing on specific aspects like CPU usage, memory allocation, or thread synchronization.

Pyroscope supports these profile types:

CPU (CPU time, wall time)
Memory (allocation objects, allocation space, heap)
In use objects and in-use space
Goroutines
Mutex count and duration
Block count and duration
Lock count and duration
Exceptions

Refer to the Profile types tables for information on supported profile types based on instrumentation method.

For information on auto-instrumentation and supported language SDKs, refer to Configure the client.
