.NET Process
.NET Process type of profiling allows you to profile any managed application that is started after clicking Run.
After you click Run, the main dotMemory window will appear. From this point on, dotMemory is ready to hook into any managed application that is launched.
Filtering Child Processes
If you want to profile only specific child processes, you can set up a process filter. In this case, dotTrace will start profiling of a child process only if its name matches the filter.
The filter consists from an arbitrary number of name masks for the processes that should not be profiled.
To use a process filter
- Click Filter Processes button.
- In the opened dialog, add masks by using the text field and the Add button.
- To save the filter, click Save.
Take into account the following filter peculiarities:
- The default policy is "profile all".
- There can be only "exclude" masks. Therefore, any filter mask you add means "do not profile anything that matches this mask".
- The asterisk
*wildcard is supported.
For example, if you add the service* mask, all processes which name starts with service will be ignored by the profiler.
